Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course discusses the history of socio-cultural anthropology since the
1970's primarily in the English- and French-speaking dimensions through
perspectives on main theoretical paradigms and on primary methodological
shifts.

The introductory sections will focus on the impact on postmodern and
postcolonial transformations upon the discipline. The course's main
portion will move on to discuss how ethnographic fieldwork, historical
approaches in anthropology, and comparative procedsures (as our field's
three main methodological tools) have undergone substantial developments
since the 1970's.

The final section will move back to theory, in order to demonstrate that
and how socio-cultural anthropology today in fact is at the forefront of
international social sciences and humanities in addressing key issues
through improved research procedures.
