ANT 501 - Proseminar in Anthropology

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

First half of a two-semester seminar required for incoming graduate students in social-cultural anthropology. Along with ANT 502, the course is discussion-driven, writing-intensive, and will introduce students to fundamentals of anthropological thought. As the purpose is to develop analytical and summarizing skills, we will begin to understand what our readings are saying "in their own write," before developing attitudes about them or becoming overwhelmed by the larger discourses which generated them or of which they became a part. We will try to understand and debate how anthropological ideas are produced and employed and defended.
