Seminars in the Anthropology of China IFall 2004
Coordinator: Prof. Joseph Bosco josephbosco@cuhk.edu.hk
Seminar leaders: Profs. Tan Chee-beng (TCB), Cheng Siu-woo (CSW), Joseph Bosco
(JB), Sidney Cheung (SC)
This course aims to introduce postgraduate students to the anthropological study of Chinese
societies. In this first semester you will learn about the development of the anthropological
study of Chinese societies as well as examine some selected themes. The course is teamtaught
and the topics are arranged in logical sequence but also so as to fit teachers' schedules.
Course Requirements:
1. Class attendance and participation. (25%)
2. Select three of the topics discussed, one for each of the first 3 teachers (JB, TCB,
CSW), and write a review of five to eight pages (typed, double-spaced) to show your reflection or understanding of the topics. Submit your paper not later than two weeks after the topic is discussed. Since there is not much time after a class to write the paper (since students must continue to keep up with the readings for other classes), students are encouraged to decide in advance which papers they will write, and to start writing while they are reading, and to do additional reading from the recommended books in that section. (Each paper 25%).

Approaches to Culture:Graduate Seminar in Anthropological Theory
Gordon Mathews
This course is designed to give postgraduate students a solid foundation for
understanding cultural theory in anthropology. The readings are sometimes long,
but they are all important in coming to understand anthropological theory, in all its
complexities.
1 The course requirements are as follows:
1) A 10-12 page paper, due November 8, on this question: “Can anthropological
theory be scientific? Or is the effort to be scientific misguided? Explore this in terms
of the history of anthropological theory.” This will make up 40% of your grade.
2) A 16-18 page paper, due December 13. This paper should discuss five of the
different approaches to culture that we have considered within the context of your
own prospective anthropological research (or for M.A. students, any topic of interest).
This paper will give you the chance to integrate what you have learned in the course
with your own research. This will be 60% of your grade.
Course Topics
1) Introduction: Why Anthropological Theory?
Classical Theory
2) Seeing Through Society (Marx, Weber, Durkheim)
3) Cultural Evolution and Cultural Relativism (Morgan, Tylor, Boas, Kroeber)
4) Comprehending “the Other” (Malinowski, Evans-Pritchard, Mead)
5) Society, Culture, Mind: How Are We Molded? (Radcliffe-Brown, Benedict, Levi-Strauss)
Contemporary Theory
6) Contemporary Cultural Evolution (White, Harris, Diamond)
