NIVEL FORMATIVO : POSTGRADO I.DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CURSO Este curso corresponde a la segunda parte de una profundizacion de teoria antropologica, desde varios puntos de vista historicos y tematicos. Se ofrecera una revision exhaustiva de tematicas y teorias clasicas a partir de topicos contemporaneos, emergentes y relevantes para la actualidad. En la primera unidad se examinara la base teorica e historica del pensamiento antropologico y de las ciencias sociales en relacion a cuestiones de: cognicion, cuerpo, incorporacion, conceptos de persona, y principios y fines de vida (antropologia de la concepcion, vida y muerte). En la segunda unidad se abordaran tematicas relacionadas con lo que consideramos ?social?. Se mirara rituales y eventos a partir de sus cosmologicas, y se cuestionara nociones de mediacion y representacion, buscando alternativas. Se abordaran las bases filosoficas y antropologicas de conceptos de materialidad y se mirara la antropologia de la tecnologia y del arte como posibles puntos de innovacion. En la tercera unidad se profundizara en los despliegues de ontologias de lo invisible, de ambientes y condiciones extremas de vida, como en las profundidades del mar o en el espacio extraterrestre, y se enfocara en como la antropologia ha concebido de estos lugares y entes extraordinarios en sus teorias. Finalmente, se tocara el tema del afecto y de como la ?virtualidad? (de Deleuze y Guattari) se ha transformado en modelo viable (o no) para una antropologia posmoderna. II.RESULTADOS DE APRENDIZAJE Objetivo general: Conocer y profundizar en topicos y teorias antropologicas contemporaneas, situando estos en relacion con los debates clasicos de la disciplina.
