Class Description:
Anthropology's primary object of study is "humanity" itself. This is indicated by its name, anthropo-logy. But what academic study is not about humanity? How is anthropology different from, say, sociology, psychology, history, economics? Anthropology approaches the question of humanity from its margins instead of its "center." Instead of "cradles of civilization" or modern urban metropolises, anthropology tends to begin its inquiry from the limit-points of humanity. Where does "humanity" begin or end? How do we interact with "non-human" animals or the environment? What becomes of us in space? How do we politically draw the boundary between "human" and "non-human" in the first place? This class introduces, in particular, one of the sub-fields of the discipline: sociocultural anthropology. The class aims to introduce many facets of sociocultural anthropology through one question: How do you teach the game of fetch to a non-compliant dog?
