Cíle předmětu
This course gives an overview of the major themes and paradigms in cultural anthropological research on late-state-socialist and post-socialist societies. Thus it focuses both on the palette of various fields that have been seen as specific to the region, as well as on the important shifts of attention from one topic to another over the course of the past two decades. The format of the course is a combination of introductory lectures and reading seminars; students will be encouraged to read both classic and innovative ethnographies as well as theoretical syntheses of the relevant literature, and be prepared to give concise presentations on them. The course meets four times this fall: 6 October 2006,10 november 2006, 1.12. 2006, 15.12. 2006.
