Subject Matter
Cultural Anthropology's primary area of study is the analysis of cultural phenomena and processes within one's own society. A cultural concept "in a broad, ethnographic sense" (E.B. Taylor) serves as a starting point. The main aim in the contrastive comparison between "one's own" and "the other" is to understand the cultural arrangement systems of everyday life, both in the past and present. A central component of the subject is to understand how people structure their coexistence and to determine what image they have of themselves and their environment.
Because these questions concentrate on the conditions in which people live in rather complex societies, special importance is placed on the communications and mediation processes that are typical of these societies.
