The course explores the basic concepts of the discipline of Social Anthropology, its history within Greece and abroad, and its relation to other social sciences and humanities. We will proceed to a presentation of the most important theoretical approaches to the study of societies and cultures, their differences and their political and historical context, as well as a detailed account of the methodological particularities of social anthropology in terms of research, interpretation and writing. During the course we shall examine questions of cultural difference as the object of anthropology and discuss how they are related with issues of “race” and racism. Based on ethnographic examples with emphasis on uses of tools and symbols, including language, rituals and myths and on cultural dimensions of the concept of person and time, the students will be acquainted with various ways in which members of different societies perceive and classify the world around them.
Learning outcomes: The course’s aim is to familiarize students with the topics, perspective and methodology of Social Anthropology and develop their capacity to use its basic concepts for the study of culture and society.
More specifically, students are aimed to:
Recognize «ours», culturally constructed, and ethnocentric ways of interpretation.
Recognize the importance of cultural diversity for the formation of Social Anthropology.
Delineate different anthropological approaches to culture and society and the historical context of their development.
