University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

The course acquaints students with central facets of Greek society and culture as depicted by ethnographers and other social scientists since the mid-sixties. The emphasis is on institutions, modes of living, options, contests and negotiations of everyday existence in the Greek society of today - the society which the students actually come into contact with during their stay in the country. The traditional" will come into the picture as one among other cultural frames of reference in terms of which people in Greece behave and "cope" in different circumstances and situations. A central aim of the course is to cultivate in the student an ethnographic sensibility which involves among other things the ability and willingness to put oneself in the place of the people one has come to study and become aware of one's own cultural conditioning.
