Cíle předmětu
This course gives an overview of the major themes and paradigms in the cultural anthropological research of 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 six times this fall: 29.09., 21.10., 11.11., 25.11., 9.12., 16.12.2005

Metody hodnocení
The format of the course is a combination of brief lectures and a thorough discussion of assigned readings.The students are encouraged to conduct a brief ethnographic research on cultural practices and write down the observations in a field diary, read both classic and innovative ethnographies as well as theoretical syntheses of the relevant literature, and be prepared to give concise yet in-depth presentations on them.
