Goals	This course aims to build upon the material and approaches discussed in the course ANT 205 Readings in Classical Anthropology by shedding light on the so-called "paradigm shift" in modern anthropology. Its primary aim is to familiarize students with a range of emergent themes and perspectives in anthropology, that is, new perspectives in fieldwork, interpretation and writing data, and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each perspective.
Content	This course is designed for students who are specializing in anthropology: it presents a broad historical outline of major approaches and debates in the field, and seeks to foster skills in critically reading and discussing social and cultural theory. It is primary aims to familiarize students with a range of emergent themes and perspectives in anthropology, that is, new perspectives in fieldwork, interpretation and writing data, and understanding the strengths and weakness of each perspective. Our aim is to explore the relationship between ideas and frameworks as they emerged in particular places and times. At the end of the first half, all students are required to learn the intellectual genealogy of anthropological theories and where they came from historically.
