Cultural Anthropology

Answer each question using relevant articles or sources that you find. Each answer must be minimum two pages long.

2. In this course some dichotomies in anthropological theorizing have been presented:

· Contingent – deterministic

· Ideational – materialistic

· Nature – nurture

Choose one of these dichotomies and provide two recent (within the last 10 years)

examples of opposing approaches (not using any of the examples provided in the class

material). You will be graded on how well you clearly identify the epistemological basis

of the approaches you choose and how they are applied to specific cases.

3.  Choose one of the turns we discussed in class (power, rhetorical, ontological) and find an article reflecting a recognition of the need for such a turn and presenting a case informed by adopting an approach the is derivative of the turn.
