Learning outcomes

This course, designed for undergraduates, uses several teaching techniques and classrooms activities (lectures, ethnographic interviews, encounters with experts, ethnographic films) to introduce the students to a critical knowledge of key concepts, methods, tools of the discipline to decentralize one’s own gaze in approaching other forms of cultural and social life.

Program

The course will start with the notion of culture and work towards shedding light onto the notions of “boundaries” and “belonging”, of “inside/outside” in the light of the most recent anthropological debates on questions emerging from the dynamics of inclusion/exclusion in the contemporary world. The course will make use of relevant ethnographic case studies.
