Program

The first part of the course will focus on the fundamentals of cultural anthropology and will answer questions such as: what is the anthropological perspective? What is the anthropological concept of culture? What does anthropology mean by cultural relativism? What is ethnographic research? What is cosmology? What are relationality systems? The ways in which individuals use culture to relate to and transform the world and to
organise material life will then be illustrated.
The second part of the course will delve into some aspects of the anthropology of inequalities, focusing in particular on intersectionality as a theoretical, methodological and social-political intervention approach based on the consideration of the multiplicity of aspects that make up individual identities and the ways in which these intertwine to create particular situations of disadvantage or privilege in a given social context.
