Academic titleBA Comparative Religion and Social Anthropology
Course descriptionThis programme provides an opportunity to study both Comparative Religion and Social Anthropology - to discover areas where the two disciplines fruitfully come together and where their interaction is less direct. Although these disciplines differ from one another in a variety of ways, the existence of an interface between the two is commonly recognised. Increasingly, scholars of religion use anthropological concepts and tools to formulate questions pertaining to religious phenomena, while religious ritual and magico-religious practice have long been standard topics in the research of anthropologists. The study of ethnographic film and video is made possible with access to the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology and units offered by the subject area of Art History and Visual Culture.
