• Anthropology is a general and comparative social and cultural science. It deals with the diversity of human ways of life and highlights the similarities and differences.
  • It looks at the societies, social groups, and everyday worlds that it covers, within the context of political, economic and cultural networks and structures, which are also affected by global processes.
  • Anthropologists have therefore long been expanding their focus from non-industrial, non-literate societies outside Europe to include aspects such as transnational migration, the impacts of urbanization, and the revitalization or creation of new traditions as part of political transformations.
  • Anthropological methods are also used when researching small, industrial communities (e.g. societies, sects, industrial companies, bureaucracies, ethnic movements, transnational networks) in and outside Europe.
