Southeast Asia comprises a broad spectrum of social and ecological landscapes, from primate cities to primary forests. This unit of study examines how humans have made meaningful lives in these contexts in terms of productive activities, social units, political formations and cultural representations. This unit also examines the various approaches anthropologists have used for the task of conceptualising of and writing about these.
