Cíle předmětu
Traditionally, anthropologists have used the culture concept, and other anthological methods, to explore the power the law has in shaping the aesthetic, political, and existential dimensions of human lives around the world. This course is designed to give undergraduate social science students a general introduction to anthropological methods in regards to the law and legal practices in different societies. We will pay particular attention to contemporary legal anthropological theory which emphasizes the role of power and history in shaping the law. Course readings focus on anthropological rather than legal methodologies providing original analysis of particular legal developments. Readings cover several world areas including: Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin American, the Middle East, and South Asia.
