SOCI 1120 Introduction to Cultural Anthropology 3 Credit Hours Course Information Course Description: This course introduces the study of human culture. It focuses on human adaptation and diversity; the development and variety of economic, political, religious, family and expressive institutions Course Objectives: In this course we will explore the diversity of human culture and organization. We will use a basic text to investigate various aspects of human society. While we will encounter the "exotic" and different, I hope we will also uncover some of the universals and common threads of human existence by looking at our own culture in new ways. Prerequisites and Co requisites: All developmental courses in reading and writing/composition must be completed. Course Topics: Topics in this course: The Human Perspective: Chapters 1 - 3 present the issues of humanistic anthropology as well as the parameters and historic issues in the development of the field. The Organization of Human Groups: Chapters 4 - 6 present theories and cross cultural examples of the major cultural institutions of polity, economy and family.

Luke's Social Location of Paul: Cultural Anthropology and the Status of Paul in Acts Jerome H. Neyrey University of Notre Dame Notre Dame, IN 46556 Introduction, Focus and Hypothesis When scholars study the relationship of Luke's description of Paul to that found in Paul's authentic letters, they tend to work out of either a strictly historical or an ideological framework. Is Acts a reliable source for the history of Paul's life and times? Is Acts the "synthesis" of the conflict between conservative Jewish christianity and liberal Pauline thought? More recently scholars have examined the literary structure of Acts with attention to the parallels between Jesus and Paul (Luke and Acts) and Peter and Paul (Acts). Thus a shift is occurring in the study of Acts, with more attention given to the perspective of the author and his rhetorical agenda. This article belongs in that latter stream. Historical questions about the veracity of Luke's portrait of Paul are important and valid. But I focus here on the social status which the author of Acts attributes to Paul. In terms of the highly stratified society of his world, where did Luke imagine Paul fitting? Where did he wish to locate him? I suggest that Luke portrays Paul in the company of the elite of his world, acting comfortably in the role of a citizen trained for public duties.

What is Cultural Anthropology? Cultural anthropologists study contemporary peoples using the method of participant observation. They study economics, political ideologies, religions, rituals, child-rearing practices and kinship, food preparation practices, as well as other aspects of social life, and seek to understand how each of these social and cultural institutions evolve and affect each other. An overarching theme of contemporary anthropology is an examination of the effects of colonialism on non-western societies. Cultural anthropologists are increasingly being employed by corporations, non-profit and advocacy groups, and government agencies. At the University of South Alabama, students are introduced to this subfield in Introduction to Cultural Anthropology (AN 100) and have a variety of upper level courses available that range from regional studies such as Latin American Cultures and Societies (AN 347), to specific topics such as Economic Anthropology (AN 358).

The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here Updated January 22: A Christmas Day New York Times article by George Johnson, A Question of Blame When Societies Fall , has elicited quite a bit of comment in the blogosphere. The article concerns Jared Diamond, anthropologist and popular author of two recent books on cultures, Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed . The first deals with why societies succeed and the second deals with why societies fail. First of all, I have read neither book, but I did read parts of Collapse , specifically the chapter on the Rwanda genocide. Diamond placed the blame for the genocide on a logical Malthusian theory that population had outstripped food supply which resulted in massacre to reduce the human population so there would once again be enough food and land to go around. It seemed reasonable at the time and it still does now.

It values linking local and global, past and present understanding of human societies using a holistic approach. By looking at human societies in a holistic manner, Social-Cultural Anthropology offers a series of approaches to understanding contemporary challenges. Our department represents a rich discipline engaged in and contributing to issues of significance in diverse human societies. Our faculty's interests range from understanding the interaction between contemporary societies and their environments to social processes of exchange and value, globalization, gender, kinship and ethnicity, migration and transnational movements, nationalism and identity, religious practice, ritual and celebration , visual and performing arts, tourism, health, foodways, the interactive practice of ethnography and the links between academic and applied work.

The Nature of Anthropology This program provides an introduction to the field of anthropology in general and the entire series in particular. It emphasizes a holistic approach to the discipline, focusing on scientific techniques and the value of each society studied. It explores how the field developed and how it has changed over time. The program introduces the student to some of the main theorists involved in anthropology from its inception, including Charles Darwin, Franz Boas and Margaret Mead. Concepts central to the study of anthropology, such as cultural relativism and ethnocentrism, are introduced through an exploration of the native cultures of the Turkana tribe, the Kwakiutl Indians, Tasmanian Aboriginals, and the Omaha tribe. The Nature of Culture This episode focuses on culture in societies. It defines culture as a unique set of values, beliefs and practices those enables us together to reap the benefits from the locality in which we live. The program begins to answer such questions as: How does culture develop? How does it change and adapt to the world around it? The program delves deeper into the meaning of concepts such as ethnocentrism and cultural relativism to emphasize their importance in the field of anthropology. The need to understand how differing values and beliefs meet the needs of specific cultures is seen in contrasting examples from other cultures. The Txukarrame Indians and the Boran tribes of Kenya are examined to illustrate the degree of variety, as well as the parallels between and among cultures. The program concludes by showing the devastating results of one culture's inability to adapt, demonstrating that the loss affects us all.

The field is based on field work in contemporary societies (ethnography) and the comparison of societies past and present (ethnology). While a multitude of theoretical approaches are current in cultural anthropology, our Department espouses no orthodoxy and students are encouraged to develop their own theoretical interests. Although students in virtually all fields of cultural anthropology can be accommodated within the Department, three special programs are Ecological Anthropology and Medical Anthropology, and Discursive Practices, all of which involve collaboration with other disciplines and subdisciplines within anthropology.

Cultural Anthropology Cultural Anthropology is the sub-discipline of anthropology which studies contemporary societies and cultures. The work of cultural anthropologists complements the work of researchers in the other sub-disciplines of anthropology: archaeology, biological anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. Ethnography is the long-term, highly detailed, usually qualitative, description of a particular socio-cultural context. The primary ethnographic research method used by cultural anthropologists is participant observation, which entails long-term observation (usually a year or more) and participation in the activities of a particular context, such that in-depth and detailed descriptions of the particular setting are possible.
