Course contents :
|
| The course aims to introduce the students to a range of theoretical and methodological tools, which will be displayed in order to highlight the plurality and the plasticity of the research field. The classes will revolve around a rigorous bibliographic work, which will be confronted to empirical studies. Thus, the students will be invited to seize and question certain standard anthropological approaches. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Courses of anthropology are designed to get students used to handle and to question objects in their whole complexity. Beyond the acquisition of formal knowledges, it is a matter of developping and creating some methodological tools, able to open up new perspectives by unframing the glaze.
Additionally to master both history and current developments of sensorial anthropology (perceptions, emotions, sensitivity...), students will take on a critical practice of ethnographic description, through a confrontation to senses. |
