Space for communication
The course will be structured as follows:
Lectures:
we will have lectures dedicated to both the Andean and the Brazilian indigenous worlds. Some lectures will be devoted to anthropological theories and contexts, some to ethnographic cases and themes.
Lectures will be held online here: https://unito.webex.com/meet/sofia.venturoli on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 12-14
We will have 2 guest lectures:
· On the 24th of November, Anna Bottesi “Ethnic emergence and indigenous museology in the State of Piauí (Brazil)”, about ethnogenesis in Brazil the case of indigenous museums
· On the 25th of November, Santiago Manuel Gimenez “Afro-Argentines. Expansion and consolidation of an interdisciplinary field of study”, About Afro-descendants people in Argentina historical cultural trajectories and discrimination by the polic from a historical and anthropological perspective.
Class discussion:
each Monday we will discuss in class two scientific papers, that students will have to read at home the week before. Students must choose their day to present in the “Student Presentation” calendar. Depending on how many students decide to participate to the course as “attending students” we will decide how many students will be involved to the presentation each week; in any case, no more than 6, 3 for each paper. Each attending student must present at least once. Students presenting on the same paper should work together to prepare the presentation. All students have a Webex room where they can meet if is not possible to meet in presence. After presentation we will open the discussion to all students, everybody is expected to participate to class discussion.
Working groups and your presentation:
each group will have to carry out a research on the web, concerning the topics discussed in the lessons on Indigenous Resilience against covid-19, starting from the materials provided on Moodle. Research will have to focus on a specific ethnic group and collect resources (articles, links to sites, documents, videos, etc.) depicting political and socio-cultural practices that the indigenous group is implementing to tackle the pandemic. Each students team will then have to briefly analyse the approaches that the population is pursuing, providing a brief ethnographic presentation based on literature review and web research. The result of the work can be displayed through a web site, a recorded video, a padlet, or any other support. Groups will present their work to the class in the lessons on 14,15,16 December.
See examples here in the section "Obiettivi Formativi" at the top of the page.
Attending students
are the ones who follow the lectures (skip no more than 2-3 lessons, and not the ones when are supposed to present) are active in class, present the articles, read the articles even when they not expected to present, make the group research and present the research result.
Final Evaluation:
Lectures participation, papers presentation, class discussion and working group presentation constitute 2/3 of the final evaluation. The other part will consist in the reading and oral exposition of two ethnographies chosen from the exam list, during the oral exam.
