ANTH 362 - Social and Cultural Change

Institution:

College of Charleston

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

"Why do people's cultural affiliations shape their behavior so dramatically in some contexts but not at all in others? Why are some individuals from a culture more adherent to its characteristic patterns than are others? Why do some cultural patterns persist unchanged across many generations, whereas others shift dramatically within a generation? And what distinguishes successful and failed attempts at directed culture change?" This course explores these and other questions related to the dynamics of culture change. In particular, the course emphasizes theory and cases studies related to various aspects of the relationship between cultural change and cultural sustainability.
