Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course intends to provide an overview over the history of social and cultural anthropology, with an emphasis on broad trajectories and theoretical traditions. This entails a focus on individual scholars, as well as on specific "schools" and more general intellectual trends at the time. While references will be made to older contributions, the starting point of this overview will be the second half of the 19th century. The intention is not only to cover 21st century contributions as well but to juxtapose "old" and "new" variants of certain theoretical traditions throughout the course. While the course is a lecture course, there will be a number of mandatory original texts so that students can get an unfiltered understanding of what individual scholars were trying to communicate.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

The central tool for evaluating your contributions will be a written (closed-book) exam to be taken in-person at the university. You can receive bonus points for active participation in group discussions (including reaction papers).

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

In order to receive a passing grade, you need at least 60 points. A 'sehr gut' requires at least 90 out of 100 points (a 'gut' at least 80 points, etc.). The lecturer can invite students to a grade-relevant discussion about partial achievements. Partial achievements that are obtained by fraud or plagiarized result in the non-evaluation of the course (entry 'X' in certificate). From winter term 2019/20 the plagiarism software 'Turnitin' will be used for courses with continuous assessment.

Prüfungsstoff

The written exam will cover everything presented in class, as well as a selection from the mandatory reading list (the selection will be communicated in the second half of January).

Literatur

Literature will be announced separately on Moodle.
