Husk at gyldig semesterkort m? fremvises n?r kompendium kj?pes. Instituttet bestiller kompendiet f?r semesterstart, til et forventet antall studenter. Viser det seg at vi har bestilt for f? kompendier, kan vi bestille flere. En slik re-bestilling m? gj?res tidlig i semesteret. Merknad: Tekstene i kompendiet m? klareres f?r kopiering, en prosess som tar tid. Av den grunn er det dessverre ikke mulig ? re-bestille kompendiet n?rt opp til eksamen.

Seminargruppe: Urban antropologi f?r og n?: Om politi og r?vere i en italiensk-amerikansk 'slum' og franske forsteder
Foreleser: Cicilie Fagerlid
P? dette kurset skal vi lese to monografier, en fransk h?yaktuell fra hverdagsarbeidet til politiets spesialstyrker i forstedene utenfor Paris, og en amerikansk klassiker fra en italiensk bydel i Boston. M?let med kurset er tredelt: For det f?rste f?r vi to gode, men h?yst ulike eksempler p? hvordan livet i en kompleks storby og moderne stat kan studeres gjennom deltagende observasjon og antropologiske perspektiv. For det andre l?rer vi empirisk og til dels komparativt om to forskjellige fleretniske samfunn; om m?ter mellom ordensmakten og deres m?lgrupper (hvor m?let heller blir ? f?ye den enkeltes kropp inn i en spesifikk – postkolonial – sosial orden enn ? h?ndheve likhet for loven og en allmenn orden), om kj?nn, subjektivering og sosial organisasjon, om diskriminering og rasisme, om kriminalitet og politikk og mye mer. Sist men ikke minst skal vi utforske de to detaljrike og velskrevne b?kene metodologisk og skriveteknisk: Hvordan struktureres og underbygges argumentene? Hvordan presenteres empiri, teoretisk rammeverk og metodevalg? Hvordan posisjonerer antropologen seg, og hvilke konsekvenser har dette for v?r forst?else av teksten?

Seminargruppe: Antropologi og vitenskapsteori
Foreleser: Arve S?rum
I dette kurset vil vi diskutere noen grunnleggende perspektiver p? folks tilstedev?relse, og forankring, i en verden som p? samme tid er naturgitt og menneskeskapt. Vi vil gj?re dette med referanse til synspunkter p? forholdet mellom antropologi og naturvitenskap (fysikk, biologi), og til den epistemologiske forankring disse kan sies ? ha.
Tre mulige hovedtemaer springer ut av tekstene: et ?kologisk basert syn p? forholdet mellom organismer og deres omgivelser, et kritisk blikk p? forholdet mellom naturvitenskapelige og samfunnsvitenskapelige metoder og modeller, samt forholdet mellom persepsjon og forskjellige lokale verdensbilder. Planen er at presentasjoner fra deltagere s?vel som seminarleder skal danne grunnlag for velinformerte diskusjoner og vi vil ogs? fors?ke ? relatere problemstillingene til deltagerenes egne prosjekter

Seminargruppe: Visual Anthropology: Ethnography, Standards, Experimentation
Foreleser: Arnd Schneider
This course will introduce to some of the most exciting theoretical discussions in contemporary anthropology, which have to do with status of images (moving & still // film/video & photography) as a source of knowledge, research tool, and mode of representation. Rather than being mere illustrations (such as photos in the majority of anthropological literature), or indices of things, people or events (such as in mainstream documentary film), images are here understood as producing knowledge, theory and argument.
Such a renewed theoretical focus on and with images is required not only to understand our increasingly mediatized global world, but also the image use in radically different societies, and indeed by anthropologists themselves.
We will have lectures, discussions based on readings, and student presentations. In the presentations students are invited to present their own photos or film-clips from fieldwork (or, alternatively, other examples from film/video & photography), and discuss them in light of the literature.
