ANTH 34344 - Myth, Magic, and Religion

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

The course Myth, Magic, and Religion applies the anthopological concepts of ethno-ontology and ethno-epistemology to various religious practices and institutions from different cultures around the world. In doing so, the class initially attempts to understand how these cultures understand, justify, and use these practices, which range from chamanism to witchcraft. In the second part of the course, the material is more focused on the world's great religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, to examine the principles and beliefs of these religious institutions, how they originated and evolved through history, and how they are similar and different.
