The course is an examination of contemporary anthropological
theory in terms of abstract concepts and ethnographic
analyses. It will concentrate on several key theoretical
approaches that anthropologists have used to understand
society, such as structuralism, interpretation, Marxism,
feminism, practice theory, critical ethnography, and post
modern perspectives. Readings will focus on how these
approaches figure in current debates among anthropologists.
