(syllabus)
The course aims to provide students with methods and concepts of social and cultural anthropology. In the contemporary world, the anthropological perspective is set up as a critical study aiming at understanding cultural diversity and similarities, processes building belongs, inequalities, differences, hierarchies, and forms of power. The course’s first part will put classical and constitutive notions of this discipline at the centre, such as society, gender, culture, power, body, institutions, to build a debate on cultural transmission processes. The latter will be analysed looking at the relations between generations and growth and learning experiences, mainly when these same processes and construction of the subject occur in social marginality and political vulnerability conditions. The second part explores the relationship between human mobility and the generations, looking at the long-term reverberations of the migration processes and the exposure to violence, their relapses on the construction of the subject, and social and education relations. Starting with notions explored, the course aims to provide a) a knowledge of anthropological perspectives and their main concepts to develop an ability to understand currents of thought in their historical and social dimensions. They are helpful b) to apply such knowledge, theories, and concepts to develop a reflexive, autonomous and critical gaze on the main topics of contemporary. The ethnographic method and ethnographic examples will encourage a participatory method to understand the 'otherness' becoming helpful means to develop a comparative and non-ethnocentric perspective, together with a micro-macro level of analysis.
