This seminar’s spotlight is focused on diverse methods of anthropology – whether based on cultural or scientific, on social or structural aspects - additionally including hidden or faded, paradoxical or refrained issues. Anthropological and educational points of view include considerations of economic dominance, striving for power and violence and security issues - as well phenomena of opposition and contradiction to the dominant principles of culture. The reward will be an experience beyond information.
