Synthesis
The objective of this course is to discuss ethnographic approaches to power and livelihood by articulating the analysis of classic texts (ethnographies, power and livelihood, particularly in Africa and the Middle East) and the study of ethnographic documentary film.
The ambition is to deepen the knowledge of ethnographic approaches, the study of power and livelihood, but also to introduce students to visual anthropology.
