Social Anthropology
built 656 days ago
Students will gain a clear understanding of the rationale behind the ethnographic fieldwork and the way it contributes to the disctinctive character of Social Anthropology as a discipline. Having explored a number of different ethnographies, they will be familiar with the challenges anthropology presents. They will be aware of the complexity of social life in particular ethnographic contexts and be able to avoid ideological simplifications and prejudices. Above all, they will be in a position to appreciate the way in which anthropologists utilise their ethnographic material in accounting for social and cultural variation in the world and developing a theoretical perspective on culture and society - a perspective which can ... have a variety of more practical applications.
