Learning outcomes
|
The course will introduce to the students the issue of the anthropological study of time and space. It will follow two lines. In the first part of this course we will trace the classical debates on the social/cultural inflections of time in anthropology as well as examine more contemporary concerns with temporalities of industrial and "post-industrial" ages. In the second part we will analogously combine the classic anthropological accounts of spatial dimensions of social/cultural life with more contemporary concerns with urban and "postmodern" spatialities.
After successful passing the course the student will be able to demonstrate a detailed outline of various approaches to time and space in social and cultural anthropology. He or she will understand the construction of time and space in diverse paradigms of social and cultural anthropology. At the same time, he or she will be able - also after going through seminar work with primary texts - to apply an analytical and critical approach.
