Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to familiarize students with a discipline situated at the intersection of anthropology and historiography. Historical anthropology emerged from critical debates within Western historiography and from critiques of historicism and sociological approaches to writing history. In its historiographical research, it deliberately takes cultural and social anthropology as its model, particularly in its semiotic conception. The course focuses on key topics and authors characteristic of the discipline of historical anthropology, or those who have an impact on contemporary social sciences and social discourse in general. Students will become familiar with these topics through lectures and by studying scholarly texts on the relevant issues.
Students completing the course will be able to understand current thought in modern historiography; discuss key issues in historical anthropology; and critically evaluate, through the lens of cultural-anthropological thinking, key themes of historical anthropology in European history and their impacts on the social sciences.
