Cíle předmětu
This course introduces undergraduate and graduate students to the archaeological theories, principles and controversies of the English-speaking world. Students will learn about and discuss anthropological archaeology, culture, objectivity, the “New Archaeology”, interpretive archaeology, positivism and post-modernism, and about the role of the Philosophy of Science in addressing critical archaeological questions. Students will read from the writings of seminal thinkers, including Binford, Childe, Hodder, Renfrew, Tilley, Trigger and Wylie. Students will be evaluated by attendance, and through a short essay on a topic of their choice written in Czech or English. Students must have at least an intermediate level of fluency in English (if you understand this course description you will be fine).
