Description
Experience Level: Entry
Have all the notes for these. will share all the notes with you.
Here are the 10 questions i need help with
1. Explain how two of the following thinkers owe a debt to enlightenment philosophy: Tylor, Morgan Malinowski, Durkheim.
2. Let’s suppose that a hominid species 2 million years ago contracted an illness. Could the effects of this illness possibly be mitigated by a placebo? Why or why not? Your explanation should include information from the lecture notes and the readings.
3. Week two’s lecture notes discuss “the paradox of culture”. Explain this paradox and its applicability to Pahari culture.
4. Explore how evolutionist principles are either upheld or undermined in one of the course videos or readings.
5. The lecture notes discuss the function of “magic” in the lives of “primitive” people. How is this function similar to, or different from, the function of “witchcraft” for the Azande?
6. Discuss the presence of objectivism and reflexivity in “Body Ritual among the Nacirema”. Use specific examples from the text, and material from the lecture notes.
7. Trouillot describes the semiotic construction of the “savage”. To what extent does Alison Davis succumb to this construction or negate it? Use details from the lecture notes and specific examples from the Davis text.
8. In week five, we discussed the incommensurability of reflexivity and cultural relativism. Are the two incompatible? Your response should include evidence from one or more ethnographic texts that we’ve encountered thus far.
9. How does Roughgarden revise traditional notions of family? Use specific examples from the Roughgarden text and the lecture notes.
10. The evolutionary framework presupposes, what Fabian calls, the “allochronistic fallacy”. Critiques of anthropology have often presupposed that the discipline is itself “evolving”. Do you think that these critiques succumb to a type of “allochronism”? Use specific examples from the lecture notes and the readings to support your response. Your response should also demonstrate a thorough command of Fabian’s ideas.
