Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course is offered only to students who participated in the preparatory course “NGOs in Indonesia” during the winter semester 2022/23. Moreover, all students have to attend the accompanying course “Before and After the Field School (240506 SE) during the summer semester 2023.

The main purpose of this course will be a one-month trip to Indonesia where the students will have the opportunity to experience urban and rural life in central Java and undertake ethnographic fieldwork. The field school will be organised and carried out in collaboration with the Department of Anthropology at Gadjah Mada University (UGM). Approximately three weeks will be dedicated to intensive research in Yogyakarta and its neighbouring regions.
The research is planned to be carried out while being based at a local NGO or CSO. This way, the students will get an insight into the organisation of civil society in different social contexts and with different agendas. Many of these organisations have a long history and support either specific interest groups (e.g. farmers or fishermen, or women’s associations) or work for a common goal (e.g. recycling plastic waste, cultural activities and tourism). Due to their wide-spread presence and influence, they regulate political, economic, social and cultural life, especially in rural communities and neighbourhood areas in the cities.
The foci of research will depend on the characteristics and goals of the respective organisations. Together with their Indonesian counterparts, the students will choose the appropriate research methods and adapt them to the individual circumstances.
Field school and research period: 1 – 26 May 2023
The participants will organise individually their travel to and from Yogyakarta. Estimated costs: approx. EUR 2.000. Financial support by the University of Vienna: 40% (of travel, accommodation, visa, insurance, museum entries etc. – excluding food!)
