No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1992–93 to 1994–95 (before that, 1972–73 to 1979–80 used the number for Ethnology of North American Sub-Arctic and Indians of the Canadian Subarctic); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Anthropological theories and concepts are examined as they are explored in fiction and fantasy. Among the issues discussed will be the relationship between nature and culture, the course of human physical and cultural evolution, the relationship between humans and non-human primates, the role of the symbol in human thought, and the nature of human society. The works of Geertz, Turner, Levi-Strauss, LeGuin, Goiding and Card are among those studied.
As printed in the 1992–93 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
