教學目標
與內容
The main objective of this course is to learn about ethnography.
Ethnography is research about some “people” somewhere in the
world, conducted by an anthropologist (sometimes called
“ethnographic fieldwork”). Ethnography is also the book that is
written by an anthropologist about their research. Anthropologists
do ethnography and they write an ethnography.
Each week I will lecture about a “classic” ethnography written by
a famous anthropologist. You will learn the typical format and
content of ethnography, and how that has changed since
anthropologists began doing fieldwork. In addition, as you learn
the history of ethnographic writing, you will become familiar with
the history of theory in anthropology.
The second objective of this course is to improve your English.
You will improve your “anthropological” English vocabulary, and
you will have the experience of taking a class in English.

Final Project
40%
Perform ethnographic “fieldwork” in the Hualien county area. You
can learn about either an ‘event’ or a ‘life-history’.
Event
An ‘event’ is some activity that includes people doing something
(it could be their job, some ritual, some performance, some
community activity, etc). You must talk to the people involved and
learn from them about the event.
Life-history
If you do a ‘life-history’, you will conduct an interview with
someone. You will learn their ‘life history’ and report that
history to the class. If you decide to do a life-history, you
cannot interview friends, teachers, or Tzu Chi workers. It must be
someone with a special story, preferably an older person who has
lived an interesting life.
Your project
Make a PowerPoint presentation for the class
You can use video, photographs, voice recordings
I will show you examples of past projects
You will give me a title of your project in writing on Week 12
Part 1 – Group project
40%
PowerPoint presentation, in English(!)
Part 2 – Team work protest-vote!
Each team member will vote on the participation of the others. If
two teammates vote that you did not contribute to the project, then
you will fail the project and the class.
Very important:
At the end of your ppt, you must discuss how your project relates
to some topic in anthropology, i.e., migration, globalization,
feminism, cultural ecology, Marxism, evolution, or some other
anthropology topic that you know about.
