Course Description and Requirements: This course will introduce
you to current social theories in anthropology. We will cover a broad
field of issues, all of which are relevant for a truly four-field anthropology.
For those of you who have not taken Anth 510, please take a look into
some of the “additional readings” listed for each topic. It
is also advisable to do so for anyone who has taken that course.
Requirements for this course are steady attendance and active participation
in all class discussions. This includes doing the readings in advance
of the scheduled class meetings.
Grade:
1) For each class, you have to write a short paper (ca. 1000 words length)
on the readings. This paper must include an outline of the subject which
the authors treat, i.e. what they all have in common, and how each one
takes a particular approach to this subject. A close reading should enable
you to draw out differences of opinion. Do not get mired in the details
a paper may contain. Read attentively and with an awake mind, pulling
out the major trains of thought. This weekly assignment cannot be done
on the evening before the class meets! For the first class meeting, no
such papers are due. However, you must hand in for the remaining 13 classes
at least 11 papers, on the day of class meeting (Thursday morning),
printed out on paper, and handed in to one of us. No late papers will
be accepted. No exceptions. Therefore, don’t take the two occasions
for not writing such a summary paper at the beginning of the semester.
Most of you feel increasingly overloaded towards the end of the semester.
The sum of your eleven papers is good for 60 % of your grade.
2) Participation in class discussions is worth another 15% of your grade.
3) A final exam, in the form of a take-home, handed out on May 1st and
due on May 8th (no late papers) makes up for the remaining 25 %
of your grade. The exam will consist of two questions. They will cover
major parts of the course, asking you to show that you have a good grasp
of the material covered. (Length 8-10 pages).
Readings: Required class readings will be available in the AGO
library. In order for the system to work effectively, students need to
respect fellow classmates -- if you remove readings from the library,
sign them out and return them promptly. Additional readings, if not available
in the library, may be obtained from either Carmen or Reinhard, or from
the University Library Reserve room.
There are two books you should acquire for this course. These books are
available at the Campus Bookstore:

2002 Exotic no More. Anthropology on the Front Lines. Chicago:
University of Chicago Press.
