UTA GRADUATE COURSES IN ANTHROPOLOGY
SPRING 2008

ANTH 5310.001            HISTORY OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL THEORY

This course introduces students to methods of knowledge construction and explanation in anthropology.  We focus on both the development of anthropological theory since the late-19th century and current directions.   Key paradigms studied include evolutionary approaches, functionalism, structuralism, Marxist approaches, theories of cultural meaning and symbolism, and recent influences of feminist critique and postmodernism.  The aim is to acquaint students with a broad range of approaches so that they may learn to understand theoretical arguments in anthropology and make use of theory in their own research.
