Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

People's socialities and subjectivities around the world have been formed and shaped through and as social relationships that transgress national borders since countries and states exist. Yet, with increased globalisation and its specific technologies of mobility and communication such social processes have taken on novel currents and new meanings.

Starting from this state of affairs this course looks at socialities and subjectivities as they are shaped by connections between the Philippines and Austria. Within a general thematic frame connecting people across borders students will develop and carry out their own project, either as single researcher or in small research teams. Exemplary thematic fields may include, but are not restricted to, migrant health and care workers, disaster relief, interethnic marriage, medical tourism, or tourism in general. Preference will be given to topics related to the fields of medial anthropology, the anthropology of technology and the anthropology of the body.

Ethnographic fieldwork is to be carried out either in both Austria and the Philippines or solely in the Philippines during January 2016.
