240075 VO Nationalism in Times of Globalization (P2) (2015S)

The course will unfold in three sections. Section one will provide the lecturer's overview on recent and current theorizing on nationalism in times of globalisation in the social sciences, the humanities and at their intersection, in anthropology in particular. Section two will then proceed to present and discuss individual anthropological entries by some of today's leading authors as they are under publication in the 'Globalisation Dictionary', co-edited by the lecturer and currently in press (in German). Section three then offers student volunteers the opportunity to organize podium discussions on selected topics of current-day interest, based on a reading list that will be provided in advance (i.e. during the first section).
