Description
Experience Level: Entry
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 one or more of the readings.
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. Discuss the relation between Fabian’s notion of the “allochronistic fallacy” and Trouillot’s notion of “the savage”. How might their ideas be useful in rethinking traditional ways of seeing and studying various groups of people?
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 text and the lecture notes.
10. Discuss Horace Miner’s use of satire. What exactly is he critiquing? What are some of his implicit recommendations?
