Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: In this seminar we read classical and contemporary ethnographies as anthropological debates across time. We specifically ask: How do current debates in anthropology relate to the history of the discipline? How does ethnography write anthropological theory? We also open a dialogue between Western anthropological theories and engagement with these by scholars from the global South. A particular emphasis is given on questions of ethnographic positionalities and the construction of situated knowledge. At the end of the course students have acquired knowledge of fundamental concepts of anthropological theory and are familiar with current critical engagements with these. They have learned to read ethnographies as situated and temporal knowledge constructions
