Problems of Socio-Cultural Anthropology as a Course
The article deals with the problems of anthropology, including
socio-cultural anthropology as a course, their relations with cultural
and social anthropology, ethnology and ethnography. This is a topical
question not only for the Georgian Humanities but remains the
debatable issue in the West as well. The determination of the problem
needs more clarification in Georgia. The reason is that before the 20-
30s’ of the 20 th century the field was developed under the name of
ethnology whereas after including Georgia within the USSR it was
changed into ethnography. This fact bears not only departmental but
political motivation as well. At present such definitions as ethnology,
anthropology, social and cultural anthropology have become
functional again. This is the reason why we have made an attempt to
determine the essence of the fields in relation to the name.
