Cultural Anthropology in Spain

This course offers a basic introduction to the field of ethnology, which encompasses both cultural and linguistic perspectives and theories on the understanding of human social behavior.  The course is designed for any student to take as part of his or her general university education.  It is intended specifically for students with no prior exposure to anthropology.  The course does not have any pre-requisites.   

Anthropology is the study of human variation across space and through time.  In this course we will utilize a comparative, cross-cultural approach to explore the diverse ways in which societies structure life.  Comparison between less familiar non-Western societies and more familiar Western industrialized societies will frequently be employed.  Our exploration will begin with a study of the construction of anthropological knowledge, focusing on fieldwork, ethnographic methods, and ethics. We will then explore basic anthropological concepts such as: culture, ethnicity, kinship, gender, worldview, subsistence, exchange, and social organization.  In each instance, we will draw examples from Spanish society.
 

NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF ANTHROPOLOGY IS REQUIRED FOR THIS COURSE.
