Kinship
ANT4131.01
Course Description
Summary
What in family is given, what is found, what is made? This seminar explores a range of methods developed through the anthropological study of kinship. Students will explore what is revealed, through these methods, about the very texture of relations and relatedness. By considering how kinship is imbricated with various forms of inequality; with experiences of illness; and with historical events, such as war, students will develop approaches to understanding kinship as a window onto the social.
