ANTH 2121 - The Development of Topics and Themes in Sociocultural Anthropology


Using classic and modern ethnographic texts key concepts are explored in social-cultural anthropology (e.g., belonging, classification, kinship, conflict, politics and economics, technology, illness and healing, movement, time and space, production, exchange and consumption, and the body).  These themes are examined through anthropological concepts of power, belief and knowledge, change, culture, identity, materiality, social relations, society, and symbolism.  Our aim is to trace how these notions were initially conceptualized by anthropologists and how they have been challenged and reworked by subsequent anthropologists to make sense of the complex world in which we live.
