Letzte Änderung: Fr 12.05.2023 00:21
1. To gain an understanding of the (theoretical) themes and debates in the study of elites.
2. To be able to apply the theory to (historical) developments in Vienna.
3. To better understand the particular qualities an anthropological perspective has to offer.
4. To be able to reflect upon methodological and ethical concerns and challenges in the (anthropological) study of powerful actors.Content:
After discussing definitions of elites, inequality, and power, we will focus on a variety of topics, such as conspicuous consumption, the elite family, admiration of power, philanthropy, and elite geographies. We will discuss these topics with the help of several case studies, especially though not exclusively located in (imperial) Vienna. This will allow us to explore similarities and/or differences between elites, inequality and power in Vienna and elsewhere around the world.Methods:
Reading literature, group work, discussions, and individual papers.
