Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Recent technological inventions have had tremendous impact on the political economy worldwide. This seminar tracks these current transformations and provides insights into anthropological literatures on consumption, production, globalization, and neo-liberalism. Whilst debating pressing issues in economic and political anthropology, we will develop theoretical, analytical and methodological tools for reconfiguring central anthropological concepts such as power, "the political", and change.

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students will gain a broad overview over anthropological debates on political and economic changes in the contemporary world. By working through a variety of in-depth ethnographic studies, they will further develop their analytical abilities and theoretical understandings of core anthropological problems.
