CR: 3
Prerequisites: One ANTH course (excluding ANTH 114 ) and one additional course in the social science division. An introduction to the theoretical foundations of anthropology. We examine the emergence of specific problematics in anthropology: What is the relationship of the individual to society? To culture? What are the implications of talking about society as structured? About cultures as different? How do we account for change and diversity?
