This course presents a theoretical analysis of religion and belief as cultural phenomena. Through the study of diverse, local perspectives on religion and belief, this course guides students in recognising the connections between various social and cultural institutions. It explores the dynamics of religion and magic in human societies through comparative studies of elements, forms and symbolism in systems of religion and belief.
