How do anthropologists define culture? What article from Weeks 6-12 could help you to illustrate how anthropologists apply the concept of culture?
Part III: Essay question (1@ 15 points)
In “Reading Ethnography”, Lavenda and Schultz (244) note that “In a sense, what makes an ethnography and ethnography is that it is part of an ongoing debate in anthropology.”
Using 5 readings AND 1 film to develop your essay, consider the following:
What anthropological questions did Rolston-Smith explore in her ethnography, Undermining Gender? In your answer, think about the assumptions, theoretical frameworks, and methodologies that inform her ethnographic questions or research project? Meaning, What argument is she making? How does her work fit into cultural anthropology (the themes we explored in class)? Develop your essay around a clear argument (or thesis statement) and use supporting evidence. (~4-5 pages double-spaced). DON”T FORGET A TITLE (not: Essay Exam).
WHAT ESSAY EXAMS MEASURE/ Why Professors assign essay exams:
Essay Exams seek to assess if you can find key course ideas and that, in your own words you show that you:
* Understand concepts from the course
* Use these concepts to interpret the book
*Make connections see relationships, draw comparisons and contrasts
*Synthesize diverse information in support of your argument/thesis
* Argue your opinions by backing up with evidence
*Think critically and analytically
