Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

"Crises, Democracy and the Media in Europe"

The Jean-Monnet-Ringvorlesung Course aims to address acute questions of the process and challenges to European integration through the lenses of media and communication governance in the case of crisis. In this context ‘crisis’ refers to a ‘break from the norm’ a ‘state of emergency’ and the deployment of ‘emergency measures’.
The course explores various dimensions of ‘crisis’, including but not being limited to the protracted financial crisis in the past ten years. Other forms of crisis include political crisis and a crisis of legitimacy, institutional crisis and regulatory crisis, as well as the crisis of trust in the polity.

This course draws upon distinct fields of knowledge from the academe and the academically informed public policy, with speakers from the disciplines of communication, law, politics, migration, education and sociology as well as the world of politics and media.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Written examination at the end of the semester and three additional dates in the following semester (October, November, January).

The examination consists of two parts:
1) You submit a blog post to the question: Do we need Europe? through Moodle until 10 days before each examination date.
2) On the exam date itself, you choose one of three open questions and answer it in the form of a scientifically based essay. Open Books exam: You can bring all the materials with you and use them, but no electronic devices.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

- solid understanding of concepts treated.
- critical engagement with questions of integration and media.
- engagement with interdisciplinary sources.
- self-reflection of the learning process.

The total grade is calculated as follows: 60% essay + 40% blog post.

Your essay can be written in English or in German. You must write legibly! If your text is not legible, there is a high risk that the mark will be low.
The essay must be scientifically based, that is based on academic literature, not simply a colloquial ‘chat’ or ‘opinion’.
An essay means a discussion between theoretical approaches and empirical findings on a certain topic. Stay focused. Answer the question on the basis of theory and empirical research where appropriate.

Prüfungsstoff

The content of the lectures (spoken word, slides, guest lectures and discussions) and literature.
We recommend to be physically and mentally present at all sessions and to maintain a transcript.

Literatur

For this Jean Monnet Ringvorlesung lecture series, a reader (colour: turquoise/cyan) with all texts relevant to the examination is available from Facultas. It differs fundamentally from readers from the previous semesters.
