AST612: Anthropology and Its Others

Understanding cultural difference is at the heart of anthropology's project, and has significance for the other humanities and social sciences as well. Anthropology's 'Others' include both the other cultures which are the subject of its studies and the other disciplines with which anthropological ideas are engaged. Major debates in social and cultural anthropology and the contributions of the cultural-ecology, marxist, symbolic, structural and post-modern approaches to cultural analysis are considered.
