| Compared with other fields, and owing above all to its history and diversity, anthropology is far more concerned with and lies at the heart of debates and internal controversies i); ii) that are shared with the other human and social sciences; iii) and/or on which anthropologists express an opinion and/or take a stance in the public space (societal debates). These debates and controversies are the concern of anthropology. An introduction to the notions and the "purpose" of these debates and controversies will be followed by examples (ethics, field of relationships and the field of migration) that will allow students to familiarise themselves with the required analytical approach. | ||||||||
