ANTH 201b - Anthropological Theory

Institution:

Vassar College

Subject:

Description:

In this course we explore the history of intellectual innovations that make anthropology distinctive among the social sciences. We seek to achieve an analytic perspective on the history of the discipline and also to consider the social and political contexts, and consequences, of anthropology's theory. While the course is historical and chronological in organization, we read major theoretical and ethnographic works that form the background to debates and issues in contemporary anthropology. Ms. Kaplan. Prerequisite or co-requisite: Anthropology 140.
