Cultural Anthropology: Tribes, States and the Global System
An introduction to basic concepts of cultural anthropology. Students compare cultures of increasing scale and investigate specific universal issues related to why cultures change, who benefits from such change, and the costs of such changes. The course begins with an introduction to anthropological fieldwork, and continues with the description and analysis of different cultures representing domestic-scale autonomous tribal societies; politically organized, class-based systems and ancient empires; and global, industrial market based civilizations.
