Abstract:

In the 1970s, when the social science history movement emerged in the United States, leading to the founding of the Social Science History Association, a simultaneous movement arose in which historians looked to cultural anthropology for inspiration. Although both movements involved historians turning to social sciences for theory and method, they reflected very different views of the nature of the historical enterprise. Cultural anthropology, most notably as preached by Clifford Geertz, became a means by which historians could find a theoretical basis in the social sciences for rejecting a sc

The article presents a history of the development of theoretical perspectives within the social and cultural anthropology from the early 20th century. Beginning with functionalism and structural functionalism, the author traces the influences of structuralism, Marxism, interpretivism, gender, cultural and post-colonial studies, concluding with a set of five themes characteristic for the contemporary anthropological research.

Abstract This article highlights the importance of anthropology in special education, particularly its ability to provide a deep understanding of the needs of students with disabilities by examining the cultural and social backgrounds that influence their educational and social development. The application of anthropology in this context relies on analyzing cultural differences that shape students' learning processes, enabling teachers to use flexible teaching methods that take these differences into account. Anthropology's application helps improve social interaction between students and teac

Anthropology is a branch of science that studies human behavior, biology, cultures, communities, and linguistics in the present and past, including past human species. Cultural anthropology explores cultural meaning, including norms and values, while social anthropology studies patterns of behavior. Linguistic anthropology is the study of how language affects social behavior. Biological or physical anthropology is the study of humans' biological development.

This is social anthropology, and many psychiatrists consider that the inclusion of anthropological data and methods, particularly in cross-cultural research, can be useful and informative to psychiatry.

The explanatory model perspective of medical anthropology emphasizes the cultural shaping of individuals' efforts to make sense of their symptoms and suffering. Causal attribution is a pivotal cognitive process in this personal and social construction of meaning. Cultural variations in symptom attribution affect the pathogenesis, course, clinical presentation and outcome of psychiatric disorders. Research suggests that styles of attribution for common somatic symptoms may influence patients' tendency to somatize or psychologize psychiatric disorders in primary care.

What Fassin means by moral anthropology is essentially a form of empirical inquiry that investigates how social agents articulate and negotiate moral claims in lo

The relationship between psychopathology and culture remains a vexed question.

From the late 1990s, a wave of writing in anthropology took up the idiom of madness to orient a critical approach. However, anthropology's use of madness as critique reflects a longer conversation between psychiatry and anthropology. As madness is used to point to and connect other things—afflictions, therapeutics, medicine, politics, colonialism, religion, and, especially, trauma as a social condition—it is noteworthy not only for its breadth, but also because it is often applied to contexts in which it already has purchase as critique.

Abstract:

In this short review, I have tried to sketch an overview of historical development of political anthropology and its recent trends. I was enthused to prepare this review article as there does not exist any of such simplified introduction of one of the prominent sub-fields in cultural anthropology for the Nepalis readers, in particular. I believe this particular sub-field has to offer much to understand and explain the recent trends and current turmoil of the political transition in the country. Political anthropologists than any other could better explain how the politics is socially and cultu

Abstract:

The article analyzes the impact of scientific approaches of historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history on the theoretical sociology’s understanding of social and cultural dynamics in the planes of “local civilizations” and global. The methodology of this work includes the principles of complementarity, structure, and dialogue. In the study of the problematic field of labor, the following methods were applied: philosophical hermeneutics, systemic- structural, and interdisciplinary. Historical anthropology as a philosophical- historical discipline, that analyzes the mental- cultur

Abstract:

The article is named as the “Anthropology of law” and its content is conducted within legal issues on the translation of legal terminology. Anthropology is an empirically-grounded discipline. Its material is observed in the real world, typically through long-term, focused participant observation. The anthropologist studies social forms as they exist in all their variety, including ideas as well as physical activities, and what may be regarded as archaic or marginal. “Anthropology of law” is the first branch of anthropology to emerge from mid–nineteenth century. The field studies different soci

Abstract:

Social studies is the combined study of several disciplines including cultural anthropology where expressive culture is defined and described. Expressive culture is the processes, emotions, and ideas bound within the social production of aesthetic forms and performances in everyday life. It is a way to embody culture and to express culture through sensory experiences such as dance, music, literature, visual media, and theater. By integrating the arts into social studies, students are introduced to cultural ideals, traditions, and norms inherent in their own lives. This article describes the us

Abstract:

Abstract:The main part of the philosophical activity of Charles Taylor may be characterized as philosophical anthropology. This philosophical anthropology is above all an attempt to overcome what he calls the epistemological construal i. e. a set of false anthropological beliefs spread in the modern western philosophy like: disengaged subject, the punctual self and social atomism. His critique of the anthropological beliefs draws, among other thinkers, heavily on Ludwig Wittgenstein's reflections on language and his social nature in Philosophical Investigations. To the disengaged subject and p

Abstract:

When teaching ethnography and discussing anthropology in Greek universities, instructors endeavor to make students familiar with the study of otherness and introduce them to alternative ways of understanding social phenomena. How can we demonstrate ethnography’s potential, not only as an effective means of studying diversity and perceiving social realities, but also as a way of making a living? Such a concern requires revisiting the teaching process in order to better appreciate anthropology’s discipline and its method. This paper reflects on teaching experiences in various academic and non-ac
