Learning outcomes
|
The objective of the course is to present a detailed view on the problems of colonialism and post-colonialism in connection with the original inhabitants of America, Australia, Russia, Norway, Japan, etc., who are internationally called as the inhabitants of the "fourth world".
Students will be able to undestand to position of the Indigenous peoples in the majority society, not only on the level of states, in which they live, but also on the level of broader international community (e.g. UN). Strategies (interpretation of law, different kinds of resistance, media, education, etc.) by which they keep continuity of their existence, the influence of anthropologists' work on keeping, destruction and forming of interpretation of their identity will be discussed. Nationalism and criteria, by which they constitute the belonging to their group under the influence of globalisation, will be explained.
