ANTB20H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Django Unchained, Frantz Fanon, Franz Boas
Document Summary
Lecture 6 cultural citizenship and the body politic. Anthropology has two main themes, one is social anthropology-british school of anthropology and the other is cultural anthropology- american school of anthropology. Race is one of the founding ideas in cultural anthropology, with founding father being franz boas. He measured the skulls of different races to determine if certain cultures fit into certain physical features. Although we have realized now that is not true, race still exists as a category in many countries. Racial movement is being understood in ways that can restrict who can move across these boundaries, how those are treated who move with hospitality or hostility. The limit of hospitality is when the owner of the house says to the guests and stranger you are welcome on these terms but outside of these terms i will get hostile. We see ourselves and each other through categories given to us.
