Political Anthropology 2102-ANG-L-D4POAN
The course of political anthropology encompasses the analysis of power, leadership, and influence in all their social, cultural, symbolic, ritual, and policy dimensions. The course emphasizes context, process, and scale. We will be dealing with phenomena such as state formation, democracy, citizenship, rights, and development by looking closely at connections between formal and informal political arenas, and among cultural, social, and political processes. This course examines politics and power through an anthropological perspective. We start with politics in so-called primitive societies, institutions of rule in societies in which the state seemed absent, and the evolutionary and historical emergence of the state. Then we study the implications of anthropologists’ recognition of the importance of colonialism and global capitalism on the societies they studied. Then we move to the concept of power, we will be examining both “formal” politics and everyday forms of power, domination and resistance. At the last part of the course we explore the meaning of culture in anthropological and ethnographic approaches to understand politics.
