Learning outcomes
|
The objective of the course is to offer the basic anthropological and ethno-historical facts with regard to the development of the Central and South America since the pre-Columbian times to the present day, with a special focus on so-called "high" civilisations (Aztecs, Mayas, Incas). Emphasis is also placed on political, economic, social and cultural consequences of the clash of two civilisations in the 15th and 16th century and on the Indian question today (guerrila movement, Zapatista uprising, etc.).
Students will be familiar with the anthropological definitions of the particular region and will be able to compare it with other world areas.
