ANT 3020 - Religion, Culture & Alternate Realities
3 cr
While consciousness is a universal characteristic of human beings, it is profoundly influenced by culture. This course seeks to understand how human beings tap into their consciousnesses and the spiritual world. In doing this, we not only explore “other” cultures but also inquire into the meaning of the religion, spirituality, and alternative realities in our own cultures and in our own lives. The relationships between culture, religion, and alternate realities are examined through a variety of topics including the practices of religion across cultures, altered states of consciousness, dreams, faith, ritual, magic, shamanism, witchcraft, possession, mysticism, and avenues to the ecstatic experience.
Offered: Spring
Special Fee: There is a fee associated with this course
General Education: This course fulfills the Humanistic Perspectives general education requirement.
