Cultures: Identifications and Differentiations
With the lectures, the comments and debates, and the class seminar, along with the autonomous work, at the end of the semester the students should have acquired the skills to:
OA1 Critically position themselves in face of categories such as 'culture', 'race' and 'identity'.
OA2 Take a critical stance on the ideas of 'globalization' and 'nationalisms'.
OA3 To understand the historical assumptions, theoretical implications and contexts of the emergence of these categories as modalities of anthropological analysis, enabling them to explore and develop a non-ethnocentric understanding of diversities.
P1. Culture / cultures: scientific knowledge and narrative tradition.
P2. A relational epistemology: the place of the 'other'.
P3. 'Race' and 'gene' as despotic signifiers.
P4. Identities, nation and globalization.
a) 60% of the final mark - two reports (30% each) on the bibliography of the course, delivered on dates to be agreed upon in the Year Council.

Each report should have approximately 1200 words (font 12 and 1 ½ spaces).
b) 30% of the final mark - seminar presentation with slideshow and guidelines.
c) 10% of the final mark - comments and discussion on the exercises regularly provided on Moodle or on class and general appreciation of the work done.

Key Problematics of Anthropological Reflection
1. Appreciate the importance of critically debating ideas.
2. Learn to read texts in detail and with a critical eye.
3. Recognize the significance of the idea of reciprocity, along with its uses and limitations in kinship studies.
4. Grasp the duality that shapes Anthropology — studying individual societies while also being a comparative discipline with broader aims — and how this leads to both dilemmas and explanatory opportunities.
5. Understand how social categories impact the biological body and, conversely, how reflections on biological bodies — particularly the male-female dichotomy — affect various levels of social practices and representations.
6. Comprehend the issue of gender hierarchy from a comparative perspective and have insights for discussing related issues knowledgeably.
1. Foundations of social life: reciprocity, kinship
2. Explanations in Anthropology
3. Body and society, male and female in social dynamics and mythologies

Relations: Gender, Families, Kinship
After attending this UC, students must be able to :
OA1. To acquire an historical overview of the anthropological approaches to family and kinship, through the analysis of the most important theories and methodologies;
OA2. To grasp the diversity and significance of experienced kinship relations;
OA3. To acquire a more detached view of family relations, trying to break the "mirage of normality of everyday reality"; OA4. To understand the importance of family relations within various social dimensions (economic, political, symbolic, biological, cultural, relational);
OA5. To ensure the knowledge of kinship theories from the perspective of contemporary approaches to family, gender, self and emotions, which strongly criticized the concept of kinship.
OA6. To be able to relate the specific problems of family and kinship studies with general Anthropological Theory.
This UC aims at providing students with:
P1-an overview of the anthropological theories on the diversity of family and kinship in different societies.
P2-a critical perspective covering the history of anthropology.
P3-main currents of the history of kinship studies in Anthropology from its origins in social evolutionism, functionalist and structuralist perspectives to its contemporary debates.
P4 - the place of classical anthropological kinship studies in the current debates concerning emergent models of familiar life and biological reproduction.
P5 - a comparative analysis of different ethnographic contexts and different historical moments, in order to deconstruct the idea of universality that is often associated to the concept of kinship and family .
P6 - a notion of Kinship as a result of social forces and values, projects, gender issues, and analyzing how they are constitutive of actual family relations
Students can either enroll in assessment during the semester (minimum attendance of 80%) or a final exam.
Continuous assessment:
a) participation in class - 10%;
b) oral presentation/debate in class 20%;
c) 2 written essays
Short report - 30%
Final Essay - 40%.
Students who obtain a final mark equal or over10 will approve the UC.
Students who do not participate, withdraw or fail continuous assessment must do a final exam.

Contemporary Theoretical Debates

2 . To Inform and make the students aware of the articulations, affinities, and mismatches between the theoretical issues under discussion.
3.To relate the theoretical issues discussed with their use and expression in recent ethnographic studies.
4. To Account for recent emergencies in the theoretical debate, their promises, and relative volatility.
This course introduces and puts in context some of the main anthropological debates - and its theoretical references - of the recent decades; 2) relates broad transformations in the world and influential theoretical proposals consolidated in the 70s/80s of the last century with the transformations and controversies of the discipline in the 80s/90s; 3) discusses the possibilities of anthropological discourse and its legitimacy in contemporary conditions, and the relationships between ethnographers and their objects of study, the political appropriations of their work, and their own political commitments; 4) references and opens to discussion current theories and topics of study, in their interweaving with the socio-political and cultural transformations of the last 3 decades.
Evaluation processEVALUATION: • A written work on themes from the first part of the UC, up to 6 pages (40%) (António Medeiros) • A written work on themes of the second part of the UC, up to 6 pages (40%) (Miguel Vale de Almeida) • Attendance and participation (20%) (AM and MVA) Final exam: 100% (By reference to the mandatory bibliography and the main points of the program).
