- Main contemporary debates and issues.
The exploration of the themes above will introduce the students to:
- the main acquisitions of anthropology regarding human worldviews and creativity: from myth to ritual, from religion to the cognitive dimension of human experience;
- the anthropological perspective on the social dimensions of human life such as family, power, politics, economics, and forms of human organization;
- the contribution of the discipline to the study of human life in today's complex society.
Teaching methods:
The course is based on frontal lessons generally supported by multimedia content (slides, videos, and photos) and the exploration of ethnographic cases.
Note: In the cases provided by the law and/or of particular measures adopted by the University, the teaching activities might be conducted from remote.

Type D and Type F activities
Una quota dei crediti corrispondenti all’attività formativa dell’intero triennio, determinata dal presente Regolamento in 12 CFU, è riservata alla scelta autonoma da parte della/o studente. Questa scelta può essere orientata sia verso corsi/esami non seguiti/sostenuti in precedenza, sia verso iterazioni di corsi/esami, sia ancora verso altre attività (tutorati, ulteriori competenze linguistiche, partecipazione a convegni o seminari), purché tutte preventivamente approvate dal Collegio Didattico e/o dalla Commissione Didattica del Dipartimento. Tra i 12 crediti dovrà comunque essere presente almeno un esame con voto. In conformità al dettato del D.M. 270/04 e alla luce delle raccomandazioni espresse dal D.M. 26 luglio 2007, capo 3 lettera n), la scelta, che non può essere predeterminata (fatto salvo quanto indicato per le iterazioni), deve comunque essere ispirata a coerenza col piano formativo della/del singola/o studente.
