Anthropology of gender and kinship

Pre-requisites: No specific requirements.

Course objectives: Introduction to fundamental theoretical and methodological issues, approaches and results of anthropological study of kinship, marriage, gender relations and sexuality, as well as different cultural conceptualization of these relations.

Course description: For now almost a century and a half, research of kinship occupies a central position in anthropological research. History of anthropological thought on kinship reveals the theoretical and epistemological shifts that are noticeable specifically from the seventies. The result of these changes is the redefinition of the domains and areas of research and the review of fundamental principles, notions and concepts in the context of the new orientation and knowledge. In the process of critical reflection on theoretical and analytical categories and values of discipline problems of gender relations, bodies and sexuality move toward to the center of research of the relationships.

Learning Outcomes: Mastering the fundamental analytical concepts and categories of anthropological study of kinship and different paradigms of research. The ability of in-depth perception and definition of research problems.
