Annotation

The seminary is aimed at first-year students who plan to further specialize in socio-cultural anthropology. Following the lectures of Introduction to anthropology (YBZB40000) it will extends and deepens issues cover by the lectures while considering contemporary trends and theoretical and paradigmatic basis of socio-cultural anthropology.

The aim of the seminary is to enable students with an interest in socio-cultural anthropology to extend their critical knowledge of fundamental concepts of this academic discipline and to provide them with the basis for further development of anthropological thinking in other specialized courses (as the ground for eventual bachelor thesis).
