Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This is a four-credit undergraduate course that consists of weekly seminars. The selected material aims to be comparative and interdisciplinary with a focus on anthropological perspectives. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the kind of socio-economic changes undergone by the modern world as a result of the birth and worldwide spread of capitalism. The emphasis will fall on understanding and unpacking the interaction between various historical forms of capitalism and social practices of work and working people around the globe. Special attention will be given to how capitalist development produces classification and qualification schemes of working people in relation to gender, ethno-racial categories and spatial location, which either perpetuate/sharpen existing inequalities or create new fault lines.
