ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES Introduction to …
Devi Prasad Subedi, MA Sociology, TU Nepal 1 ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES Introduction to Anthropology Anthropology is the study of human differences, cultural and biological, in the context of human nature. Anthropologists identify and compare behaviour of a particular group against the full range of human behaviour. Such comparison should uncover principles that apply to all human communities. Third World Focus was the distinguishing characteristics of this discipline. Until after the Second World-War, anthropology focused almost exclusively on non-western or 'tribal people'. For a long time, anthropologists assumed that non-European cultures were different enough to justify a different social science discipline to study them. This assumption seems less persuasive today.
Anthropological Perspectives Several theories have been propounded in order to study the human differences and explain the aspects of cultures. For example: Culture Theories, Structural Functionalism, Moral economics, Interpretivism, Ecological approach, Marxism, Sociao-biology etc. This creates a variety of lenses for anthropologists.
