This course is meant for learners already familiar with the general topics and issues of the Anthropology of Religion and in particular for students who want to deepen their understanding of the vast and multiform galaxy of religious phenomena in Europe as well as in the interconnected world, but also in past societies. The course has in fact been designed to present and discuss both ethnographic and historical examples, yet its main aim consists of the teaching of notions, methods and theoretical tools that may be applied to the factual study and interpretation of ethnographic evidence and/or historical sources. Notions and categories like "religion", "tradition", "ritual", "myth" and others will be critically examined, stressing the theoretical and methodological variations to which their analytical use has been subject according to different anthropological currents (functionalism, structuralism, interpretative anthropology, historical anthropology, post-modern anthropology, etc.). A consistent number of case-studies will be presented and discussed to exemplify the ways in which these notions and methods have been or can be used.

Ústní zkouška
The students will be openly asked to actively participate in the interconnected teaching and learning processes. They will be encouraged to ask questions and contribute during the lessons and also given the opportunity to express their opinions voluntarily on the readings that will be handed out and read in itinere. The exam will consist of an oral test with the teacher, although the final assessment will also take into account the attendance and the active participation of the learner. Students who can also read Italian, Spanish or French are strongly encouraged to contact the lecturer. Literature Section 1: General readings - Bowie F., The Anthropology of Religion.
