Description: This course applies an historical and anthropological approach to the evidence for written (and unwritten, or 'traditional') laws in ancient societies, to uncover the rise of legal systems in culturally different communities. It explores how the imposition of non-indigenous law on other societies in Roman times gave rise subsequently to a plurality of legal systems during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, laying the foundations for universities and professionalization. Next, it assesses the impact of a similar imposition of written law designed for Western societies on others during the Colonial history of the last few centuries. Possible societies to study: India, Indonesia, Central and South America, and/or Native Americans. The final part of the course consists of student presentations of legal cases where applied anthropology played a significant role. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E.
