National ethnology / anthropology - Body and Identity

Pre-requisites: No specific requirements

Course objectives: Introducing the customs through which the body and bodily experience are intertwined with the social, cultural, historical and political processes in this region, becoming, thus, its inherent part.

Course description: The question of how different cultures use and perceive the human body, bodily substance and body parts are present in anthropology for a number of years. But it is only in recent decades that the analysis of the body and sexuality has emerged as one of the key research fields within the discipline. The questions of the relations between body and identity, the use of the body in the construction of identity and the establishment of social distinction, are given a prominent place in the structure of different theoretical approaches and paradigms. During the course students will be familiarized with the fundamental theoretical problems and orientations in this field of research.

Learning Outcomes: Mastering the different theoretical approaches in the study of the physical body and the examples of different historical, social and political context of Serbian society.
