Write a three-four page, double-spaced essay on one of the anthropological approaches to cultural economics, feminism, or hard sciencesummarized in our class textbooks fifth chapters, respectively. You will summarize or interpret your own understanding of W&Cs and H&Hs presentations of these approaches in economic anthropology. Then you will select one journal article from the 1980s that you think reflects a cultural economics, feminist, or hard science approach to economic studies in anthropology. Thus your task is two-fold: 1. Summarize and explain your understanding of cultural economics or feminism or hard science in economic studies. 2. Select an article from a peer-reviewed anthropology journal from the 1980s that you think is a good example of a cultural economics or feminist or hard science approach to economic anthropological research. Make sure you provide a complete academic reference to the article and discuss how and why you think it reflects one of the three theoretical perspective mentioned above. Therefore you will need to show how the textbook authors claims are reflected in the research writing of the article you choose. Make sure to use in-text references, paraphrasing, or quotations where appropriate to strengthen your explanation. Feel free to discuss what you find obscure or problematic in either class materials or journal articles. Furthermore, while you are free to opine about what you like or dislike with regard to these approaches, your grade will mainly be a matter of your attention to detail and your ability to sensibly explain what you have read. Naturally, formatting, spelling, essay structure, and grammar all will count as part of the grade for the essay. Examples of Appropriate Journals: American Anthropologist American Ethnologist Current Anthropology Ethnology Human Organization JRAIJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute From Student: I would like you to focus on the anthropological approach to cultural economics, and the textbooks the professor are referring to are Economic Anthropology by Chriss Hann and Keith Hart, and Economies and Cultures: Foundations of Economic Anthropology by Richard Wilk and Lisa Cliggett. It is very important to draw from the texts.
