ANTH 20400 - Comparative Societies

Institution:

Ithaca College

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

This course works towards an understanding of the world's cultures by comparing societies around a series of central themes. These contrasts will include: idea/real, primitive/civilized, male/female, class/caste, simple/complex, hot/cold, war/peace, philosophy/religion, inner/outer self, and drugs/drinking. Pairs of societies drawn from Asia, the Pacific, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Native and North America will be studied. Emphasis will also be placed on the way the anthropologists do research in these societies, and how the cultural insights gained could be applied to the design of Utopian societies.
