| AIM OF THE COURSE |
On completion of the course, the student should, at a basic level, be able to:
- account for socio-anthropological perspectives on people as cultural creators of norms and social rules,
- make the implicit creation of norms and rules visible, in a critical and reflecting way,
- account for socio-anthropological perspectives on the individual's relation to cultural and social structures. |
| CONTENTS |
The course uses conceptions of western society as a starting point. The course focuses on norms and social rules, such as cultural conceptions, and methods to make these visible with a critical and reflecting approach. This is done, for example, by discussing what a reversed society would be, and what such a society could tell us about the existing system of norms and rules;. In addition, questions about individual free choice are addressed in relation to cultural and social structures.
|
| TEACHING |
| The course work mainly consists of independent literature studies. In addition, there will be teaching in the form of lectures, film screenings, seminars, work in groups and individual supervision. The seminars in all cases imply work that should be carried out in advance. |
| EXAMINATION |
The course is examined both continuously within the scope of the teaching through active participation in seminars and results of group work presented in writing, and at the end of the course through an individual assignment, also presented in writing. Detailed information can be found in the study guide.
Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course two times are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.
Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades. |
