Your final assignment consists of two inter-related components, which will require you to work independently or in a group of 3-4 students to prepare: A) Zoom PowerPoint presentation which summarizes the key features of your proposed ethnographic project, and B) 10- to 12-page Ethnographic Research Proposal. The inter-related assignments require that you: • Develop an original ethnographic research project and question/s, • Undertake original library research in order to identify and build on the relevant ethnographic precedent, • Concisely explain and justify the methodologies that will help you explore and answer your research question/s, • Discuss your data analysis approach, • Evaluate the ethics issues, entailments, and challenges or hazards associated with your proposed approach, summarize your data management strategy, and • Discuss the objectives and outcomes that may arise from your research. You are welcome to focus on any anthropological and/or sociological research topic, and encouraged to choose those issues that you find interesting, and for which there are sufficient secondary scholarly resources (e.g., journal articles, book chapters, ethnographies, documentary films).

A few years ago I watched a program on the National Geographic Channel that examined the lifestyle of a certain indigineous tribe in a remote part of the Amazon rain forest. The cultural anthropologists were following a group of village hunters through the jungle and closely watched the natives as they caught several dozen large Goliath bird-eading tarantulas. And when I say large, I mean gigantic – as least as far as spiders are concerned! And get this; not only do they eat birds as their name implies, but also lizards, small mammals and even snakes are on the menu.  I was incredulous as I watched the hunters, upon returning to their village, start a fire to heat a large pile of rocks, and then afterward place the spiders on the rocks, or better said – coals. Yes, they roasted the spiders as part of a village feast.  And if you watched the program, you would indeed conclude it was a feast, as many of the villagers, young and old, ate tarantula for dinner. And other than the hair, which is used by the animal as a form of defense against other predators, the people consumed the entire spider. The favorite part for most of them was apparently the creamy content of the thorax, which had the consistency of toothpaste. They even used the animal’s fearsome one-inch fangs as……you guessed it, toothpicks! I have three questions for you.  1. How do you think you would respond if you were in the presence of someone eating a spider or any other so-called creepy crawler, for that matter? Explain why. 2. Would your response be considered ethnocentric? Why or why not? 3.  How can we use the sociological imagination to explain the practice of people eating things that other cultures see as abominable?    Go to the following site: https://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/00000144-0a42-d3cb-a96c-7b4f9e1a0000

The assignment needs to answer four questions. 1.Please describe three different styles of Chinese Buddhist sculpture that appeared from the 3rd century through the 8th century. Please relate the formal features of each style to a particular work, identifying the work clearly.  2.How have Chinese works of art discussed in lecture articulated Buddhist beliefs about bodhisattvas and arhats? How do the works make those beliefs vivid to viewers? Please be sure to cite several works and note specific elements and/or features of those works. 3.Please characterize at least two different ways in which paintings of places (specific places or generic ones) have articulated Chinese Buddhist understandings about the world and how people relate to it (e.g with regard to their condition as sentient beings, how to escape that condition, etc.). For the purposes of this question, “the world” can include both the immediate environment in which people lived and the larger Buddhist world system or cosmos. Please be sure to support your answer by citing features of particular works that were presented in lecture. 4.Why do sculptures and paintings associated with Chan Buddhism frequently portray human figures who are not buddhas or bodhisattvas? What ideals do such works illustrate or express? How varied might those ideals be? Please be sure to support your answer by referencing specific examples from lecture and (optionally) the assigned reading. For question 3 and 4, you can only use the sources from: (and the screenshots I uploaded) 1.Dudbridge, Glen. “Buddhist Images in Action: Five Stories from the Tang.”  2.Pekarik, Andrew J. and Stephanie Stokes. “The Cave Temples of Dunhuang.”   3. Bloom, Phillip E. “Ghosts in the Mists: The Visual and the Visualized in Chinese Buddhist Art, ca. 1178.”   4.Brinker, Kanazawa, and Leisinger, “About the Essence of Zen,” “About the History of Zen,”and “Zen Aesthetics and Theory of Art.”  Read: Berger, Patricia. “Preserving the Nation: The Political Uses of Tantric Art in China.”
