Human beings cannot generate collective identities or undertake collective action without symbols. Why is this so? And what can we learn about being human by analysing the role of symbols in facilitating collective identification, mobilisation and communication? This unit addresses these questions through an examination of forms, usages, and functions of symbols in different societies and historical periods. It provides students with an anthropological understanding of the role of symbols in shaping culture, politics, and collective behaviour.
