Watching out the English

（從同學V手上拿到了原本被收走的題目，這是頭一科）

（最後一科，supervisor執法嚴格，全部的題目都被收走了，無一倖存，因此也無法記錄）

1. "Anthropology, if it is to have any intellectual value, must be a comparative science of society." Discuss.


2. 'Culture, and hence cultural anthropology, is about knowledge and symbols. not habits and behaviour.' Discuss.


3. To what extent does anthropological analysis depend upon a clear distinction between the 'actore's model' and the 'observer's model'?


4. Discuss the significance of ethnographic data for the theoretical analysis of social inequality.


5. Evaluate the claim that themost productive use of methological individualism is in the ethnography of the modern western city.


6.Practice theory was meant to address the question of how we become who we are; but is built on a suprisingly weak account of human learning and subjectivity.


7. Assess the contribution of cognitive anthropology to our understanding of TWO of these phenomena: a) racial classification, b)religious representations c)non-linguistic cultural knowledge.


8. 'In today's world traditionalism is a product of moernity.' Discuss.


9. With specific reference to the analysis of gender, assess the value of distinquishing'symbolic domination' from actual domination.


10. 'Anthropological resistance to biological determinism is entirely justified -- on both theoretical and ethical grounds.' Discuss.


11. 'No society recounts the past in a transparent, universal and objective way. In a sense, all history is ethnohistory.


12. Assess the counter-intuitive claim that violence sponsored by the nation-state against its own citizens is often foundational to the state's legitimacy.


(這是第一砲。號稱core course，包山包海無所不包的一科。你可以看到題目中有方法論、有gender、有globolization和modernity、有sociobiology、有cognition與learning、有city，有Marxism以及古典的學史中的classic debate....）

(不過說起來，cognition跟learning的比重真的多了一些，很直接的就有3題，若連方法論與sociobiology的都算上的話，大概可以算4題）

（喔，考Bourdieu的practice theory那題，骨子裡還是在考批判Bourdieu的Cognitive Anth，那就有5題了....wow....這是什麼趨勢啊）
