Learning objectives

Through various teaching methods (lectures, discussions, case studies, meetings with experts), the course aims to introduce students to a critical knowledge of some key concepts of the discipline and to its methodology; it also introduces them to some open debates within contemporary theoretical and ethnographic contexts with reference to ethnographic material and immaterial cultural heritage, highlighting the sensibilities and potentialities of an anthropological perspective. By the end of the course the student is expected to: a) have acquired knowledge of the main categories used within anthropology and become acquainted with anthropological research practices b) be capable of distinguishing and connecting the concepts of tangible and of intangible ethnographic cultural heritage; c) be capable of making use of the acquired tools to approach contemporary cultural and intercultural processes and of addressing cultural differences.

Prerequisites and basic notions

As this is a first-year course, no prerequisites are required

Program

The course is divided in two parts:
Part One: a) students are critically introduced to some of the central concepts of the discipline such as culture, identity, borders, tradition, memory, heritage; b) research methods will also be addressed (mainly participant observation and the ethnographic interview).
Part Two: the area of tangible and intangible cultural heritage and the processes of “patrimonializzazione” (heritage-making) by which cultural productions are defined as heritage will be presented and discussed through an analysis of specific ethnographic cases.
