"Seminar on Cultural Anthropology" belongs to the list of optional disciplines. The educational discipline introduces students to the foundations of the shift in the humanities and the foundations of the formation of cultural anthropology as a new type of humanitarian discourse. The subject, tasks, theoretical foundations, methodologies, main directions and problems of modern cultural anthropology are defined. The natural socio-cultural foundations of the process of man's exit from nature and their scientific understanding are clarified. The socio-cultural dynamics of anthropogenesis, the formation and breakdown of the genus (in the early forms of culture and in the process of the "Neolithic revolution" in the pre-civilization period) are studied, attention is paid to the methodological problems of building the theory of cultural anthropology. The theoretical foundations of the organization of such cultural practices as initiation, gift exchange, potlatch, avunculat, sacrifice and war, their correlations with historical types of cultural practices, the place of the tribal and ethnic community in this process, as well as the basis for the formation of a hierarchy of value orientations, are considered, the main typologies are outlined early forms of culture. The variability of the theories explaining the specified cultural practices, which are the result of the influence of interconnected factors (cultural-historical, social, religious, material and technological), as well as the correlation of cultural practices studied by cultural anthropology with modern processes of archaization of the global cultural space, are explained.
