Due: 2/25/19 – non-negotiable 

Directions: Text evidence and analysis should be thoroughly applied throughout response. Students should link key concepts, areas of inquiry, and inquiry specific concepts to response. 

Part 1:
As you read chapter 5, there is a lot of discussion and analysis of ‘The Body’, ‘The Self’, and ‘The Other’. Through your own analysis, apply these inquiry specific concepts to each of the sub-sections throughout the chapter.

  1. The Dietary Question
  2. Wari’ Views of the Gastronomic Qualities of Human Flesh 
  3. The Nutritional Value of Human Corpses 
  4. Psychoanalytic Perspectives 
  5. Eating as an Act of Aggression 
  6. Eating as an Act of Respect 
  7. Affines and Aggression 
  8. Consanguines and Ambivalence 
  9. Desires to Hold on to the Dead 
  10. Disassemblage and Regeneration 
The responses per sub-section should be formatted as followed: (example)

The Dietary Question:

The Body -
 The Self -
 The Other – 

There is an excessive amount of details in each of the sub-sections about the body (type of body -animal, human, enemy; the role each body plays; the role the outsiders believe the body portrays), the self (Wari’s culture), the other (perceived understanding of outsiders about the Wari’s culture).

Again -text evidence must support each response. This is not a summary of the sub-sections of the chapter. This is an analysis of culture and cultural views.

Part 2:
After completing part 1, answer the following question and apply information from chapters 1-5.
  1. Why does anthropology matter?

]]> 2019-09-24 02:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/debjani_banerjee/16ct5z9o85x2/wish/388581970 Paper 1 answering debjani_banerjee https://padlet.com/debjani_banerjee/16ct5z9o85x2/wish/398311757
Paper 1

When preparing for paper 1, teachers should consider the perspective of the anthropologist in the set passage.

  • How does the anthropologist’s perspective shape the way in which the ethnographic material is presented?
  • Are alternative interpretations of the ethnographic material possible?
  • If the methods of the anthropologist are evident in the passage, can these be linked to the explanations or conclusions the anthropologist presents?
  • Does the anthropologist foreground the voices of the research participants? And to what end?

These are some of the questions teachers can ask in preparation for the paper 1 assessment. Discussion of these issues will encourage students to read ethnography critically, both for what it says and how it is saying it.
