CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY
(objectives)
The course intertwines two parallel paths. Firstly, it provides the essential tools of the theory and practice of cultural anthropology. It will start with a general introduction, in order to offer to the students the basic knowledge about the history and the development of the anthropological thought. At the same time, current issues will be addressed. Students will thus be able to test themselves with the anthropology of the contemporary world and face the hottest issues of current affairs (such as migratory processes, for example), analyze the spread of technology (the use of smartphones, for example), deepen the new structures of social relations between generations ... The aim is to train scholars, researchers, operators, teachers who know how to handle the tools of anthropology and who are at the same time aware of today's questions.
