Ethnology, Ethnography and Cultural Anthropology

International audienceThis volume of the UNESCO edited Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS) is organized in two halves. The first chapters focus on the explanation of the discipline: its history, methodology, scopes, as well as the deep relation between anthropology and the main disciplines that investigate the same object (i.e. the human being). The second half of the volume is dedicated to the discussion of the most common and established object of study and debate within the discipline, as for instance kinship, sex, music or economy
