Annotation

There is a rising interest in environmental anthropology nowadays dues to the ecological crisis of the Anthropocene. Many of crucial actual debates do have predecessors in the almost one hundred years long history of the discipline, but are mostly left behind.

The course introduces several key schools of thoughts, concepts, debates and examples from the history of environmental anthropology. Particular attention is paid to issues concerning cultural ecology and eco-systemic approach of so called ecological anthropology.
