Description
This course provides an introduction to anthropological themes, such as kinship and exchange, further complemented by ideas related to politics, economics and social identity, which have been developed more recently. Students are expected to think analytically and compare evidence across cultures, including our own. The primary challenge is to develop a capacity for stepping out of our own cultural mindset and entering into the logic characteristic of "the other."
