Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

INTRODUCTION
Interviews are a regular feature of our society. From TV news to YouTube, documentary films to telephone surveys, interviews are so ingrained in everyday life that we tend to assume we know “how they work”. This practice-oriented course is designed to question these preconceptions, acquire a nuanced understanding of interviews, and learn to conduct them independently.

Qualitative interviews play a crucial role in cultural studies: not only are they an invaluable source of information but also require researchers to question their own role as interviewer (i.e. "knowledge producer"), interviewees (i.e. "informants"), and the complex dynamics between them. The course highlights the interactive/dialectic character of interviews as a method of knowledge co-construction rather than a technique for extracting data from “objects of knowledge".

COURSE AIMS
By attending this course participants will acquire a well-rounded understanding of interviews, their function in academic research and their use in artistic practices. At the end of the course participants will have a rounder understanding of interviews as a research method and will be able to plan and conduct qualitative interviews independently. Under the supervision of the lecturer, participants will connect with interview partnerts directly, carry out interview(s) with them, and produce a written report to present their results.

- PART 1 of the course will start with an overview of research methods in cultural studies, and then focus on interviews. Participants will familiarise with ethnographic approaches, different kinds of interviews, and learn to incorporate them in a research project. Special attention will be paid to issues topical to Chinese studies.
- PART 2 will focus on in-depth, qualitative interview through a practical exercise. Students will be put in touch with interview partners from China and the sinosphere and carry out their on interview independently, under the supervision of the lecturer.

LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
The working language for the course is English. All core readings, in English, will be uploaded on Moodle after the course starts; screenings (films, video-recordings) will have either English or German subtitles. Although proficiency in Chinese is not a prerequisite, students with Chinese language competences are encouraged to use written and oral Chinese in interviews and discussion sessions.

MINIMUM ATTENDANCE
