ANTH1002 - Anthropology and the Global

Undergraduate

UoS Description:

Anthropology's ethnographic method, long term embedded-ness within a specific culture, allows for a particularly intimate understanding of people's experiences of the social worlds they inhabit. This course shows the importance of this experiential intimacy for understanding some of the key issues associated with globalisation: the culturally diverse adaptations of global capitalism, the transnational communities emanating from global population movements, the transformations of colonial and post-colonial cultures, the rise of global movements and the corresponding transformation of Western nationalism.
