Výstupy z učení
|
This course will introduce the basic characteristics and foundations of political anthropology as a specific subdiscipline of sociocultural anthropology, which analyzes the emergence, development, and functioning of political systems and institutions from an intercultural perspective. Students will be introduced to various approaches and perspectives on political phenomena in diverse societies and cultures. The course will familiarize students with key ethnographies of Central and Eastern Europe, as well as with the most significant works in political anthropology within the field of African studies.
The aim of the course is to provide the students with different approaches to current societies going through a social change from a perspective based on the tradition of political anthropology. The goal is to establish a theoretical basis regarding main concepts of the discipline and in doing so, the student is expected to analyze current developments in a global and local scale, being able to use micro perspective and ethnography as key instruments for future research.
