SoSe 13: Religious and Cultural Diversity in Tanzania
Nina Grube
Kommentar
This course provides an introduction to the cultural complexity and religious diversity in Tanzania. It focuses on a number of issues from the history of Tanganyika (and the Indian Ocean) to contemporary ethnographic studies on "traditional cosmologies", spirit possession, witchcraft, and East African forms of Islam and some Christian denominations. The course aims to provide students with an in-depth understanding of ethnographic writing on the region and assists them to critically engage with anthropological concepts about social, ethnic and religious identity as they are experienced in the region.
