AANK13013U Anthropological Analysis
Anthropological Analysis is replaced by an Optional Anthropological Course. However the course Anthropological Analysis will be offered as an optional course in fall 2015 for students who have passed their Fieldwork, but has not yet taken the course. The course will be taught the last time spring 2016.
The purpose of the course is to equip students with the ability
to establish
a correlation between theory and empirical data. This course will
also focus on the writing process and the students' analysis of
data collated during their fieldwork. For this purpose, different
stages of anthropological analysis will be outlined. Students will
work together in groups on a series of practical exercises, in
which different methods of organising and defining data are tested
and discussed.
During the course's compulsory exercises, students must
demonstrate that
they are capable of:
• handling extensive empirical material and analysing their own
data
• coding, classifying and organising the collated material
• evaluating possible perspectives on the material and clarifying
its
analytical potential
• converting ethnographic material into text.
Students must also fulfil the Department of Anthropology's form
and language requirements (see the curriculum 4.3.2 for more about
form and
language requirements).
Approx. 700 pages obligatory literature, including 300 pages of
field
notes, 200 pages compulsory literature and 200 pages of literature
of the
student's own choice.
