◆METHODS IN SYMBOLIC ANTHROPOLOGY － （前）
|
SLATER DAVID
|
| ○講義概要 |
From simple sign systems such as dress codes to the most elaborate systems of meaning we know—human language—to communicate, indeed, to be human, means to be symbolic. This course introduces students to a wide range of symbolic media from diverse social and cultural context, and that has formed the core of anthropology theory. We will begin by examining the fundamental terms myth, ritual and symbol in the context of comparative religion and everyday life today. We will then move onto more topically oriented studies of contemporary society, with special emphasis on Japanese cases.
