Learning unit contents
This course will introduce students to anthropological approaches to law. The first part will examine the main theoretical perspectives that have shaped the field. The second part will be dedicated to students' independent ethographic research, which they will eventually present in class during the remaining sessions.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
This course aims to provide students with conceptual and analytical tools to understand the place of law and its various manifestations from an anthropological perspective. Students will read and discuss academic articles in class and write an essay that brings these readings into dialogue with the ethnographic fieldwork that they have conducted.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Some of the required readings will be in English. A passive knowledge of English is therefore necessary. No prior knowledge of law is required, but students are expected to be familiar with ethnographic research methods.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course will combine lectures, the reading and discussion of academic articles, an independent ethnographic observation exercise, and an oral presentation of the fieldwork findings in class.
