| Inhalt | This practical course (Übung) examines how social sciences, particularly anthropology, have studied the links between economy, racialization, intimacy, history, and global politics. With a focus on how economic practices are deeply shaped, rejected, and influenced by social relations. Anthropologists have used objects like matsutake mushrooms to show how their mycelia link foragers, Japanese identity, corporate capitalism, ecological uncertainty, and migration. Or explored how sugar, a luxury item in the 17th century, offers insight into the transition from the colonial plantation economy to industrial capitalism and modern consumer culture. The course draws on both foundational and contemporary texts to provide students with a solid grounding. The goals are: a) to understand the basis of political economy in anthropology, b) to examine how inequalities take shape through consumption and labor, and c) to learn how value is created and circulated. |
| Lernziele | Glossary: every week, an overview of concepts such as citizenship, class, commodity, consumption, ethnoeconomy, modes of production, and neoliberalism is provided. |
