| Course contents : | Via theoretical considerations and anthropological examples, each cagetory of human behaviour is addressed and analysed: from prayer to hunting, music to domesticity. The principal idea is to bring out universal behaviours by identifying the range of variability according to cultural tradition or phase, in order to observe equilibrium systems linking each of these functions via specific and traditional formulas. These modes of equilibrium constitute the key to successive cultures at the same time as their articulation in time is manifested as a universal dynamic, linking culture, anatomy, nature and history, in which only the archaeological approach can take into account long-term change. | |||||
| ||||||
| Course objective : | The course focuses on anthropology as informed by archaeology. | |||||
