Kommentar/Beschreibung

Course Description:
Anthropology has traditionally been concerned with the ordinary, everyday world as seen from the perspective of those who are entangled in this world. It has delivered detailed and microscopic descriptions of mundane practices. In this endeavor anthropology took inspiration and theoretical grounding mainly from two philosophical schools: Pragmatism and Phenomenology. In this seminar, we discuss the inspiration coming from these schools to anthropology by reading some of the foundational texts in philosophy and in social theory and by probing how contemporary anthropology employs phenomenological and pragmatist tools.
