This lecture slapped hard and you should be extremely proud. I'm currently taking ATH 175 at Miami and now I'm super excited for the rest of the course!
I have always been interested on learning and understanding why we humans are the way we are. Anthropology fascinates me. I am looking forward to learn more and more about us as a human specie and the world around us. Thank you for this informative video!
This video was very informative. Loved the amount of content contained in this video, but wish there was a PowerPoint video I could reference when needed also. I will watch this video again in order to see if I missed anything the first time around. Thank you.
Anthropology is the study of various aspects of humans within past and present societies. Social anthropology and cultural anthropology study the norms and values of societies. Linguistic anthropology studies how language affects social life. Biological or physical anthropology studies the biological development of humans. Archaeology, which studies past human cultures through investigation of physical evidence, is thought of as a branch of anthropology in the United States, while in Europe, it is viewed as a discipline in its own right, or grouped under other related disciplines such as history.
It is a very nice guide. It is professional introduction of Anthropology. Would you kindly help a young scholar who are trying to apply Anthropological method on religious studies? To introduce some classical theories and outstanding modern scholars. Just a simple name list. Is it possible?
The best starting place I can suggest is "Anthropology of Religion: The Basics" by James Bielo, published by Routledge (2015). It is built around six key questions in the anthropology of religion, is very contemporary, and offers suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter. Good luck
Hello! would it be possible to get a source for the comment about Bronisław Malinowski and his reference to advertising as a form of modern magic? I'm in a business class that is currently studying the social sciences and it would be very helpful to me to have that source. I've already looked at Magic, Science and Religion and Other Essays but I wasn't able to find anything about advertising. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed your lecture!
Jessica Richards It’s just a throwaway line, and I’m in Europe so my library isn’t handy, but I’m pretty sure it’s in Coral Gardens and Their Magic. One of these days I’m going to redo all of these with show notes and flourishes...
You might also try papers by my old friend Tim Malefyt. He’s been writing about advertising as magic from the perspective of an anthropologist who spent years in that industry, and as I recall he cites Malinowski. The anthropologists Brian Moeran and John L. McCreery also have a lot to say about advertising-both were Anthropology PhDs who worked for many years in the advertising industry
@@AnthroProf001 Thank you so much for that quick reply. I think this lecture was awesome just the way it was! I plan on looking through more of them as time permits! (archaeology was my first love, but then life happened and dreams had to be adjusted!) Thank you so much for the suggestions, I plan to start looking at their papers now. Have a great time in Europe and keep up the good work!
* Philosophical anthropology is an incredibly interesting topic imo. In my COMMUNITY section: "The human evolution process, an approach with modern philosophical anthropology as a basis" I reflect on the modern human species and its relation to energy transformation and space exploration. My basic question is, should the modern human species still be called an animal, or is it now (soon) so different concerning its behaviour that it doesn't make sense anymore ? An animal has a brain mainly to control its body functions, a modern human is more and more developing towards a brain in focus which needs a body to survive, air and food. This brain is constructed to not accept total randomness and luck for surviving in the solar system, it can by transforming energy (then being able to deflect medium sized asteroids, survive in severe ica age etc) and spreading out in the star system, affect its own probability for survival. Then it has abandoned the main principle animal world, randomness and luck concerning survival in the long run.
class is dumb boring and the teachers just put you to sleep. But I still go to class because you can go to college but class is boring but you should still go to school.
the very first thing to rethink is human uniqueness, which doesn't exist. Anthropologie should be about uniqueness but about connection with everything, because after all we are part of a much bigger picture.
Can I be an anthropologist even if I don't believe in human evolution? I'm very interested in this career, but I don't want it to go against my religious beliefs.
Most of the anthropologists I know who practice a religious faith belong to versions of Christianity or Islam that do not require them to reject human evolution. I have heard of Christian and Muslim anthropologists who do not believe in human evolution, however. You might pose this question to the Network of Christian Anthropologists, whose site you can find on Facebook.
Professor Mark Allen Peterson holds a joint position in Anthropology and International Studies at Miami University. A former political journalist in Washington, DC, Peterson received his PhD from Brown University in 1996. Peterson has conducted fieldwork in Egypt, India and the U.S. He is the author of the books Anthropology and Mass Communication: Myth and Media in the New Millennium (Berghahn 2003) and Connected in Cairo: Growing Up Cosmopolitan in the Modern Middle East (Indiana University Press 2011). He is co-author of International Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Global Issues (Westview 2008).
Hi Mark, i am an UX+UI designer for an IT company. I'm looking forward to further study in anthropology.. How can i relate anthropology with my current job as a UX designer?
Roslan Mat Jaih There are a number of ways designers have incorporated anthropology into their work. There is an organization called EPIC that brings designers, anthropologists and market research folks together (www.epicpeople.org); it has an annual conference (next year in Montreal).
I'm frankly concerned that my online World Pre-History and Archaeology class, rather than provide an introduction for people who have never delved into this field, decided "Hey, let's link a video and a shit ton of books instead of *actually* teach my students what this shit is." Like, yes, I get this a 4000 level class, but I'm a literature major, not a humanities major, so I have no idea why I'm even being forced to take this other than the sort of link to linguistic anthropology. I have not taken a course like this *ever* and they expect me to just "get" this shit instantly or know it beforehand -- and it's insulting they think that I fucking have the time to read over a dozen books that go over this field. On top of all that, we got delayed a week because of Harvey, so instead of taking the pace normal, we're being rushed. I may need to drop this course. :(
This video was designed for an introductory on-line course on cultural anthropology at Miami University. I'm flattered your professor chose to use it in his online World Pre-History and Archaeology class, sorry that it seems random. I suspect that it is there because the professor realizes that some people in this 400-level course don't have a strong background in the anthropological perspective and this is a relatively painless way to bring them up to speed. That said, I don't understand your complaint. A 400(0) level class at most universities is intended for senior majors and highly focused people who want to develop real expertise in a topic. Many can be taken for graduate credit. If you want a broad introduction why take that level course? To be fair, I made the same mistake when I was an undergraduate. Took a 400-level art history course as a sophomore because it fit my schedule and fulfilled a requirement. The heavy reading load was hard to keep up with but more than that it was way over my head--because it was intended for senior art history and philosophy majors with 2-3 years of knowledge about the topic under their belts. I scraped by with a C- (which may have been a gift because the prof liked me) ruining an otherwise healthy GPA. But it was my fault--they can't reduce the work load just because someone came in who was unprepared for the class. That would not be fair to the upper-division students who genuinely need to develop expertise in the topic. Good luck!

Fantastic! Thank you for this brief but very informative explanation of Anthropology - Applause from Germany
Great lecture. I became fulfilled academically in Anthropology through your explanation. Thank you greatly!
Your analysis on the head scarf in Egypt was PERFECT
And the Pokemon one was as good ahah

Interesting research on the global context of Pokemon and it's implications. Fascinating! I'd love to read a paper on it.

Anthropology = Study of humans (in all contexts) = Humaniora
Anthropology is basically and roughly humaniora (or human sciences)
Agree or disagree?
La raza es una construcción socio-cultural
Yes it is
Las razas no existen, la fisionomía diferencial entre los seres humanos se debe a que procedemos de distintas zonas geográficas con distintas condiciones climáticas, eso hace que tengamos distintos rasgos pero somos de la misma raza, la raza humana.
That's true, and it is something we spend quite a lot of time exploring in this class. although not in this lecture.
9:00 Relativism has *PROVEN TO BE DISASTROUS* let's be honest. We are living out the consequences today. This experiment has *FAILED*
What experiment? Which kind of relativism?
I want to know what makes humans human? This word is being thrown around carelessly today.
We all want to know what makes humans human. There are many ways to try to answer that question. Anthropologists seek to do so empirically.
