Course content

This course provides you with a broad understanding of recent theoretical approaches in Social Anthropology. It gives insight into how theoretical concepts and perspectives are produced and operate in the discipline, and how these develop in relation to broader social and intellectual contexts. In this regard, the course considers central concepts and debates in both classical and contemporary anthropological theory. The course moreover challenges you to think through the connections between basic anthropological theory and your own project, and it is expected that you begin the work of selecting literature that regards the empirical phenomenon you plan to study and that employs different disciplinary perspectives, theories, and concepts.
