ANTH 110 HM - Life: Knowledge and Practices
In this course we explore cultural attitudes toward life and the human body: from Melanesian origin myths to the human genome project; from the first autopsies to cloning and genetic manipulation; from early body snatchings to the trade in bodies and body parts in the global economy. The question of what constitutes life is subject to controversies, revealing cultural differences in practices, knowledges, and beliefs. This course aims to help students develop a sophisticated and informed attitude towards cultural difference.
Course Credit: 1.0
