ECTS credits Hours weekly 2Prerequisites - SemesterAssessment Once per semester students are supposed to make a presentation in pairs (in Power Point or

another visual program) corresponding to one of the course themes and related to Central Europe. Students’ choice of the topic must be approved by the teacher. The presentation should last no longer than 10 minutes and must be fully referenced (minimally 3 references to scholarly literature). If for any reason students would not be able to present, they should submit a paper ranging from 3 to 5 pages (Times New Roman, 12, 1.5) provided with a list of references and minimally three in-text quotations.

In the end of semester students will write an essay on a topic corresponding to one of the course themes and related to Central Europe. Students’ choice of the topic must be approved by the teacher. The essay should combine the format of the research paper with the affordances of Web media. The students will follow the argumentative structure for presenting their argument and hypotheses with the evidence, examples, research data, and cases that they can interpret and analyse to support their points. They can also support their argument with references, links, and embedded media (images, graphics, video, music). The text should range from 7 to 10 pages (Times New Roman, 12, 1.5) and provide a list of references and minimally five in-text quotations.

ContentCOURSE DESCRIPTION AND LEARNING OUTCOMES:

The course offers both general anthropological framework and specific studies from the region on traditional folk and kinship rituals thorough the year. Rituals are discussed from various perspectives, such as identity construction in both non-religious and religious practices; rural and urban community building; sustainance of folklore movements, ethnic differentiation and cultural heritage revival.The course helps students to discover constitutive features of rituals. Critical understanding of core paradigms in evolutionary anthropology would allow students to be able to link these theories with contemporary practice. Students would be able to distinguish key elements of ritualization on the examples of various customs and rituals in Central European region. Relevant and up-to-date studies encourage students to raise further questions on their own, especially in the connection with identification processes. After completion of the course students would be able to apply their skills in the

comprehension of ritual aspects of people's behaviour within Central Europe.SCHEDULE OF THE COURSE SESSIONS

Content In all cultures, gender is an important factor not only in biological reproduction, but also in the social stratification and symbolic classifications. In Central Europe, gender was studied for a long time only in relation to kinship and the family and in relation to traditional folk culture; it was established as a separate topic only in the past few

decades. This course aims to introduce the main theoretical perspectives on gender issues in social / cultural anthropology in relation to the region of Central Europe.

The course addresses the development of gender theories, i.e., introduces students to gender concepts in chronological order (e.g., evolutionism, the school of culture and personality, structuralism, neo-Marxism, and feminism), and also focuses on the most significant contemporary issues in gender studies (e.g., gender and sex, sexuality, family and upbringing, and gender stratification). The development of anthropological theories of gender will be linked to the research of gender issues in Central Europe; and the theoretical concepts will be illustrated by the examples coming from this cultural milieu. The lectures will include illustrative videos. Students will learn to understand gender issues in specific historical and cultural conditions from the anthropological perspective.All information about the course sessions and most of the readings are available at the Moodle site for this course.
