The aim of the course is to introduce students to the subjects of study, methodologies, and products of work of cultural anthropology. More analytically, we make an historical review of key concepts, methods, questions, topics and tendencies in anthropologists' effort to understand culture in historical as well as in global perspectives. Through various ethnographic examples we explore topics that are central in contemporary cultural anthropological thought: culture and meaning, language and communication, social construction of identity and reality, cultural aspects of social and economic hierarchies, digital technologies and communities. Although anthropology shares its theory with other disciplines, it is distinguished from them for its emphasis on reflexivity as an essential aspect of ethnographic method (participant observation and in depth empirical study of various cultural groups), and other research and writing practices.
