Kurz je zaměřen na fenomén evropských sjednocování a formování politických koalic a uskupení v globálním kontextu. Ukazuje vnitřní logiku procesů a zeptá se, na co reagoval projekt evropského sjednocení a jakým překážkám čelil. Ukazuje evropskou stejnorodost a rozmanitost, diference sever - jih a východ - západ. Jeho část se věnuje nejvýraznějším antropologům Evropy a metodám jejich práce.

The course focuses on the phenomenon of European unifications and the formation of political coalitions and clusters in a global context. It shows the inner logic of processes and asks what the project of the European unification was reacting to, what response it had and what objections it was facing to. The course notes that for social and cultural anthropology, Europe and the European Union are difficult to grasp and provide alternative answers why it is so. The course teaches students about texts on the anthropology of Europe and the European Union and instructs how to work with them.

Podmínky zakončení předmětu -
Podmínky pro absolvování kurzu
Pro úspěšné absolvování předmětu je nutné vypracovat průběžnou akademickou studii a závěrečnou práci. Průběžná i závěrečná studie je „písemným originálním textem“ a souvisí s tématem kurzu. Rozsah akademických studií je neomezený; předpokládaná minimální délka každé z nich jsou tři standardní stránky (5400 znaků). Text by měl obsahovat cíle textu, základní výzkumnou otázku, posouzení stavu znalostí předmětu, popis metody řešení, řešení výzkumné otázky, závěr a odkazy na prameny a literaturu. Každý z bodů může být krátkým odstavcem, ale práce by jej měla obsahovat.
První studie bude zpracována na téma: Jaká informace k tématu Antropologie Evropské unie by byla nejvíce potřebná a co by měla obsahovat. Tato studie je v podstatě návrhem přednášky nebo informačního textu zaplňujícího informační mezeru v antropologických znalostech o Evropské unii. Ideální by bylo, kdyby to bylo něco, co nenacházíte v sylabu a přicházíte s informačním řešením. Deadline pro odevzdání studie je 1 listopadu.
Druhá studie antropologický pohled na nejslabší stránky Evropské Unie. Cílem textu je najít nejslabší body, které způsobují degeneraci nebo nezitegraci, případně další nežádoucí jevy v Evroské unii a najít cesty k jejich oslabení nebo odstranění. Přestože se jedná o téma diskusní, mělo by být postaveno na faktofrafických základech a opřeno o relevantní literaturu. Vedle písemného námětu by zpracovatel měl být schopen svůj písemný projev zdůvodnit a obhájit. Deadline je 11. prosince.

Terms for completing the course
Conditions for completing the course
A continuous academic study and a final thesis are required for successful completion of the course. Both the midterm and the final paper are "written original texts" and are related to the course topic. The length of the academic studies is unlimited; the minimum length of each is expected to be three standard pages (5400 characters). The text should include the objectives of the text, the basic research question, an assessment of the state of knowledge of the subject, a description of the method used to address the research question, a conclusion, and references to sources and literature. Each of the points can be a short paragraph, but the paper should include it.
The first study will be on the task: What information on the topic of Anthropology of the European Union would be most needed, and what should it contain? This study is essentially a proposal for a lecture or informational text to fill an information gap in anthropological knowledge about the European Union. Ideally, it should be something that you do not find in the syllabus. In the text, the student will propose an informational solution. The deadline for submission of the study is 1 November.
The second study is an anthropological look at the European Union's weakest points. The aim of the text is to find the points that cause degeneration, disintegration, or other undesirable phenomena in the European Union and to find ways to weaken or eliminate them. Although this is a topic for discussion, it should be based on factual foundations and supported by relevant literature. The writer should be able to justify and defend his/her written contribution. The deadline is 11 December.
First study max. 50 points
Second study max. 50 marks
A = 100 – 91
B = 90 – 81
C = 80 – 71
D = 70 – 61
E = 60 – 51
F = 50 – 0
