APY 402 - Modern Europe:Anthropological Perspectives

Institution:

University at Buffalo

Subject:

Description:

Credits: 3 Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: SEM In recent decades, Europe has become a major area of investigation for cultural anthropologists. In this seminar, we ask both what an anthropological perspective can contribute to our understanding of European peoples and also what a consideration of European peoples can contribute to anthropological theory and method. Europe is not the kind of place traditionally associated with anthropology; it is not non-Western, it is not nondeveloped, it is not nonliterate, it is most certainly not without history, and perhaps most significantly, it is not the exclusive investigatory turf of anthropologists. The course focuses on issues of identity, history, and power as these shape and are shaped by social forms and local practices.
