Overview
The course explores key social, cultural and political issues in an anthropological and historical framework. Focusing on Europe from the sixteenth Century to the present day, the following themes are examined through case studies and cross-cultural comparison: travel and cultural encounters; emotion, sexuality and identity; gender and the body; ritual and belief; power and protest; popular culture and festivity; museums, art and material culture. An important aspect of the course is the use and interpretation of textual and visual materials – printed images, material artefacts and photographs, including those held in local collections.
