Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Basic knowledge in the fields of ergonomics and technology is essential for dealing with objects of material culture. While it used to be standard in the curriculum of our subject to deal intensively with the material culture of an ethnic group, this has been largely neglected in the last two decades. Based on the presentation of individual significant objects, all of which originate from Oceania, basic materials are addressed here in their specific contexts of materiality, processing and use. Their functional, social and ritual significance is also discussed as well as there embeddedness in broader socio-cultural contexts. In the seminar, participants will be asked to choose one object each from a list of suggestions in order to examine its function, meaning and use and to present it in a short presentation in the seminar.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

After several introductory double lessons by the course instructor, the seminar participants must each choose an object from a list of suggestions. For a short presentation in the seminar as well as for the preparation of a written seminar paper, they should deal with this object in the context of a small research project. Any specialist literature used for this purpose is permitted and welcome.

For the overall grade, 1) active participation in the seminar, 2) the short presentation on the chosen topic and 3) the preparation of a written seminar paper of approx. 10 A4 pages are required.
