Social and Political Anthropology
After getting to know in detail the notions, concepts and theories that have been formed throughout the history of social and political anthropology, concrete methods of their application in today's time and place will be presented.
The focus of the seminar is on the inter-cultural reading of local manners, notions and ideologies, authority, anomic phenomena, conflicts, cultural rituals, community myths etc. Emphasis will be given to the genesis of psychologically typical individuals, in view of their socialisation circumstances, cultural contexts, economic and political formations. Within this context one of the highlighted elements will be the genesis of ''social phobias'', in particular xenophobia; additional emphasis will be placed on the various aspects of subjectivisation. The goals of this seminar are to provide students with alternative and/or inter-cultural interpretation(s) of cultural, social, political and also personal differences, enabling thus a more complex and thorough understanding of social and political anthropology and a more tolerant insight into the differences and diversities of human affairs.
