| Course Description | Ethnography is the principle way that anthropology conveys its insights to others. Anthropological knowledge is principally developed in the full-length monographs, articles in professional journals, book chapters, film and media presentations. . The aim of this course is to understand the way in which anthropologists deploy specific theoretical perspectives in the organisation and analysis of ethnographic material to produce critical knowledge and understanding of the social world. Through a critical reading of ethnography, students have the opportunity to develop an understanding of both the process and product of the dialectic of fieldwork material and theoretical perspective as it is carried out in significant ethnographic monographs that exemplify the use of three major perspectives: discourse and power, practice and experience. The goal is for students to be able to understand and begin to engage in the production of critical ethnographic works. |
