This course illustrates key areas in modern social anthropological theory by taking one particular region: Turkey, Greece and Cyprus, and illustrating these countries&� significance for our contemporary understanding of ethnicity and identity and its development within the nation-state. The course also examines the complex dynamics that obtain between these nations, and evaluates the cultural background that informs them. It also considers other aspects of social life (gender, kinship, religion, environmental issues) that may pertain to the development of personhood and identity in this socio-cultural context.
