(授業の概要・目的) | Anthropology is the comparative study of culture and human societies and examines the general principles of social and cultural life. This course offers an introduction to the discipline of anthropology and its practical relevance to understanding societies. It introduces the different ways we can examine human societies and understand exchange processes, kinship and family, marriage, culture, nature, gender, nation building, and religion and ritual. Each week will consist of a brief lecture of 30~40 minutes based on class notes and readings, followed by a class discussion and group exercises. | ||||||
(到達目標) | The main purpose of the course is to give students a critical introduction and understanding to cultural diversity and processes of change within and between societies. The course provides students with some basic tools that can help students to recognize the preconceptions and assumptions of their own social and cultural environments. This course is open to anyone who is interested in societies and cultures, and willing to proactively participate in discussions over the duration of the course. | ||||||

(授業の概要・目的) | This course will introduce students to the central topics, concepts and methods of socio-cultural anthropology, which can be broadly defined as the study of human cultures and societies. It will survey the key areas of inquiry in contemporary socio-cultural anthropology and offer insights into how the seemingly most commonsensical aspects of any person’s life can be informed by the cultural and social contexts of which they consider themselves a part. The course will draw on ethnographic examples and case studies from a variety of cultures, but contemporary Japan will play a major role, in order to provide students with an interpretational framework for a better understanding of the context where we are living. |
||||||
(到達目標) | The course aims to introduce the key debates and understandings within socio-cultural anthropology. It will allow students to: - understand key concepts and terminology of socio-cultural anthropology - develop a cultural perspective, to realize that anthropology involves a way of seeing, a frame of reference for interpreting people's behaviour in all societies - develop an acceptance and appreciation of people informed by different cultures, and maintain a non-judgmental attitude - understand social relationships, for a comprehension not only of man, society and culture in general, but also of ourselves, our experiences, our own societies and cultures, as well as of the particular context where we are living at present, i.e. contemporary Japan. |
||||||
(授業計画と内容) | The following list of topics is indicative. Depending on the class and discussions, the topics taken into consideration might end up being be fewer. Nevertheless, they will include: Week 1: Course Introduction/What is Anthropology? Week 2: Race, Cultural Evolutionism and Racism Week 3: The Characteristics of Culture Week 4: Symbolic Classifications, Taboo, Pollution and Disgust Week 5: Gifts, Exchange and Reciprocity Week 6: The Anthropology of Ritual - Definitions Week 7: The Anthropology of Ritual - Durkheim and Functionalism Week 8: Cosmologies and Magic Week 9: Religion and Spirituality Week 10: Witchcraft Week 11: Shamanism and Spirit Possession Week 12: Law, Order and Social Control Week 13: Myths, Social Memory and Invented Traditions Week 14: Course Summary and Round-up Discussion Week 15: Final Test Week 16.

(授業の概要・目的)
This course will introduce students to the central topics, concepts and methods of socio-cultural anthropology, which can be broadly defined as the study of human cultures and societies. It will survey the key areas of inquiry in contemporary socio-cultural anthropology and offer insights into how the seemingly most commonsensical aspects of any person’s life can be informed by the cultural and social contexts of which they consider themselves a part.
The course will draw on ethnographic examples and case studies from a variety of cultures, but contemporary Japan will play a major role, in order to provide students with an interpretational framework for a better understanding of the context where we are living. |
|||||||
(到達目標)
The course aims to introduce the key debates and understandings within socio-cultural anthropology. It will allow students to:
- understand key concepts and terminology of socio-cultural anthropology - develop a cultural perspective, to realize that anthropology involves a way of seeing, a frame of reference for interpreting people's behaviour in all societies - develop an acceptance and appreciation of people informed by different cultures, and maintain a non-judgmental attitude - understand social relationships, for a comprehension not only of man, society and culture in general, but also of ourselves, our experiences, our own societies and cultures, as well as of the particular context where we are living at present, i.e. contemporary Japan. |

Ethnographic examples from a variety of societies will be analyzed and discussed, in order to illustrate the wealth of religious experiences that exists around the world. Especially examples about East Asian and Japanese religions (including ascetic and shamanic practices) will be central, although also World Religions, contemporary New Age in the West, as well as classical examples about African or Native American religious practices will be taken into consideration. |
