Anthropologists have often reported about internal social balance, reciprocity and "social security" in a number of non-European andpreindustrialcommunities,which have been referred to the west as archaic. Anthropological interest in various (small-scale) communities is overlapping with some religious, political and social movements of 19th and 20th Century with various views on State, purpose of technological development and human-environmental relations. How can we as economic anthropologists contribute to reverse the trend of world-wide neoliberal structural reforms?
Course consists of three four-hour sessions:
1. State and histories from the margins (lecture)
Historical process of centralisation; circulation of capital; mutualisms of 19th and 20th Century; history and theory of Economic anthropology
2. Ethnography and theory of economic communitarianism (lecture)
Multi-sited comparative research; conceptual generalisations; social processes and structures; participation, active citizenship; equality, determinants
3. Paradoxes of alter-nativity (seminar)
Horizons of mainstreams and alternatives; market and society; society and nature; heritage and progress; decisions and instructions for students’ essays.
