＜概要/Course Content Summary＞
Students interested in this course will have grasped the fundamentals of anthropology through successful completion of introductory, intermediate, and other advanced level anthropology, sociology, qualitative methods, and seminar classes. This course introduces a range of more complex themes and issues, considering especially the history of anthropological theory and how this relates to experience, practice, and application in the real world. Content includes key concepts and theorists including the historical context and contested nature of anthropological ideas.
＜到達目標/Goals,Aims＞
By the end of this course students will understand the various theories of anthropological thought, including the historical context and debates surrounding these ideas. Students will have grasped the fundamental difference between considering anthropology to be either an endeavor to, on the one hand, “explain” or, on the other, to “interpret” the sociocultural phenomena that empirical data presents. How do these fundamentally different approaches to social science reflect certain underlying assumptions? This course will help students to understand that these assumptions about the social world and how we understand it are at the core of debates between anthropologists. To achieve this understanding we will explore the philosophy of knowledge as we examine anthropological theories.
