Anthropology of Performance and cultural representations
(objectives)
form a figure of anthropologist who fits into the broader framework of "critical intellectual" capable of carrying out analyzes and interpretations of cases and cultural systems capable of elaborating and disseminating, on the basis of advanced scientific-disciplinary knowledge, critical reports in relation to practices social and contextual systems in which it will operate. The goal is to train the gaze to grasp the countless ideas that everyday reality offers us starting from experiences, habits, representations, up to all forms of "otherness" and difference, from those closest to those most distant in space and time. A knowledge that is even more necessary today not only to understand the changes we are experiencing, but to offer useful tools for the practice of daily life and for every form of work, starting with teachers of all levels to train future generations in coexistence between different, to participate in recognizing others as a fundamental resource. The knowledge and skills of an anthropological and anthropological-cultural nature are extremely useful for the exercise of the teaching profession of all levels as they allow the pupil to be recognized with his history and his identity and the specificities, his family contexts, while avoiding any rigid assignment of cultural belonging and any labelling. But at the same time, cultural and social anthropology offers knowledge relating to migratory processes, globalization and makes it possible to deal with the multicultural nature of the classes and to allow male and female students to measure themselves against cultural difference, activating communication channels and making the diversity of students without reductionisms, promoting integration and interculturality. And it helps to understand the phenomena related to early school leaving.
