20710688-3 - MODULO 3

The course aims to forming an anthropologist who measures herself with the issues related to the needs of the environment, in relation to the multiplicity of cultures and how they interact with the habitat that contributes to their constitution. On the one hand, measuring oneself with variety and multiplicity, on the other hand, imagining ways to make the world more and more liveable, for a future corrected by the errors and vices of the past. This means working collectively to read, interpret and transform the world, within a plural society where all identities and otherness are represented. Starting from a non-hegemonic, plural and dialogical ethnography, governed by a positive confrontation with others and by an anthropology that is not only an analysis of the present but also a project for a sustainable future. Listening to the voices that make up the present is indispensable for imagining a livable world from the plurality of paradigms of existence that compose it.
