- 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.
By the end of the seminar students should be able to:
-- Apply cultural anthropological approaches in various fields of post-socialist societies.
-- Conduct a brief ethnographic research on the observable cultural practices in a post-socialist society. - Osnova

- Výukové metody
- The format of the course is a combination of brief lectures and a thorough discussion of assigned readings. The students are 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. They are also required to conduct a brief ethnographic research on cultural practices and write down their observations in a field diary.
- Metody hodnocení
- The course grades will be based on written work and class participation. The in-class presentation of selected readings and active participation in the classroom discussions will account for 30 percent, completion of the brief research assignment on ethnographic observations for 30 percent, and submitting the final take-home essay for 40 percent of the grade. It is not allowed to miss more than one seminar session – sign up for the course only if you are able to be present during all classes.
