Learning Objectives
After completing this lesson, you shall be able to:
- Define the term "embeddedness" with regard to the actions and strategies of actions of specific actors at a meta-theoretical
level;
- Describe an example of a social and cultural system of "embeddedness" from rural Kenya;
- Operate the link between the meta-theoretical level of the "embeddedness" of action and its application to concrete examples.
Methodology
In order to fulfil the learning objectives of this lesson, you will have to:
- Find meta-theoretical background texts in the form of pdf files in the media column. They outline compulsory background information and illustrate the core information
presented in this column;
- Answer feed-back questions on the content of the unit; either alone or in groups (answer feed-back questions);
- Draw your conclusions by attempting to apply the theory (relevant part of the model) to concrete examples at the end of unit II. You should allocate examples drawn from a pool (in the form of text, photographs, statements and maps) of embeddedness to one of four areas of the socio-economic
and socio-cultural system in a specific context. Then, based on the information provided in unit II, you should interpret them in a short report.
