- The goal of the course to prepare the students for their fieldwork. During the semester we will examine two methodological problems, the anthropological study of symbolic analysis and interview techniques. The problems will be developed by the professor. Readings will be given for the lectures too, which all students are warmly recommended to read them. The lectures given by the professor on both topics will be followed by an individual or group presentation by the students! Accordingly, after the professor's lecture on symbol analysis, students will give presentations related to symbol analysis: students, either individually or in group, work on and analyse one or more symbols and their cultural meanings. After the presentations on symbol analysis, the professor will again give a lecture on anthropological interviewing techniques. Afterwards, the students will again give a presentation on their experience of one or more interviews what they make. This can also be done as a group presentation, however it is strongly recommended that everyone interviews individually with a person or persons who are related to the students' actual or future fieldwork. With the help of these practises and the related discussions students will be able to use the approach and interpretive skills of cultural anthropology to understand and analyze social and cultural questions from the perspective of their required fieldwork experiences.
