Università Roma Tre

The 6 cfu course, in addition to recapitulating central themes and problems of cultural and social anthropology-the concept of culture, overcoming “race,” relativism/ethnocentrism, ethnic identity, and the analysis of socio-historical processes of contact and the colonial situation-will focus on the critical literature and political anthropology of the processes of globalization. A number of lines of research will then be explored: the first related to the contradictions of the dynamics related to network technologies, new work identities and economic models of success/failure; a second one, on the other hand, dedicated to the epistemological innovations related to the theme of gender in its complex plural declination, in the wake of feminist and queer anthropology.
