ANTH 332 - Ritual and Religion

4 credits
Focuses on ritual, religion, and spirituality as dynamic and universal cultural institutions. Case studies draw from a wide range of indigenous, third-world, and Western societies and provide the basis for cross-cultural generalization. Topics such as shamanism, witchcraft and sorcery, myth, symbolism, trance, healing, and revitalization movements are explored through an anthropological perspective. May be applied to the International Studies major and minor and the Latin American Studies minor. Prerequisite(s): ANTH 213.
