The objectives of the training are: a) retrace some conceptual nodes of the debate and ethno-anthropological research, successful completion of the concept of race to the formulation of culture, to the deconstruction of the contradictions of multiculturalism, from the perspective of a new contemporary ethnography of the worlds; b) provide critical elements to address issues and problems of contemporary globalization as a complex Web of local and transnational processes; c) develop the perspective of studies of political anthropology, historical analysis of the contradictions related to the concept of ethnic identity as in reflections that define the scope of multiculturalism, placing them in connection with the reality of migration and in the study of the different forms in which old and new racism, along with other exclusionary practices, articulate processes of social construction of difference.

Programme
The main course of 6 credits in presence proposes a survey of themes and central problems of cultural and social anthropology. After having retraced some hubs of research - the concept of culture, the overcoming of the "race", relativism / ethnocentrism, ethnic identity, the analysis of the historical-social processes of contact that from the colonial situation reach the current realities of globalization, some research lines will therefore be studied in depth: the first is related to migration and citizenship also in relation to services, in which the results of a research in a peripheral Roman territory will be presented, a second one dedicated to gender and body, finally the third connected to the analysis of new parental and family realities.Core Documentation
