ANTH 2241 – Ethnography in Anthropology

(3 credits – TG) 3 hours lecture

Ethnography (“writing culture”) is central to the discipline of Anthropology. Through the reading of complete ethnographic works and critical treatises on ethnography, students will explore the entirety of the ethnographic enterprise: how ethnography allows unique insights into specific cultures, how ethnographic research is designed and carried out, how ethnographic texts are constructed, and how ethnographic representations have been responded to and interpreted.

Prerequisite: Anthropology 1103.
