| Inhalt | A good part of what constitutes anthropological theory, knowledge and methodology today has been shaped by field research in then Northern Rhodesia and what today is Zambia, particularly between the 1940s to the 1960s. The course explores these roots to then look at a large variety of topics and ethnographies which have been written since and in most recent years. Zambia is a fascinating country: it is landlocked, surrounded by eight countries, many of which have had civil conflicts in the recent past; it changed from a one-party post-colonial to a multiparty state, has a variety and in some places an abundance of natural resources, a strong system of traditional authorities, and some of the first industrialized cities on the continent or on Zambian soil. The course “Ethnography of Zambia” dwells on many of these specificities but also debates topics relevant to other Southern and Eastern African countries. It does not shy away from theory emerging from the ethnographic engagement with Northern Rhodesia and Zambia but puts its emphasis on the lived realities of different rural and urban groups in different regions of Zambia. |
