Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Presence and participation is compulsory. Absences of one session (three hours) at maximum is tolerated, provided that
the lecturer is informed about the absence. Absences of up to six hours in total may be compensated by either a deduction of grading points or/and extra work agreed with the lecturer. Whether compensation is possible is decided by the lecturer.Absences of more than eight hours in total cannot be compensated. In this case, or if the lecturer does not allow a student to compensate absences of more than three hours, the course cannot be completed and is graded as a ‘fail’ (5), unless there is a major and unpredictable reason for not being able to fulfil the attendance requirements on the student’s side (e.g. a longer illness). In such a case, the student may be de-registered from the course without grading. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate this in a timely manner, and to provide relevant evidence to their claims if necessary. Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer.Conversion scheme for international students:
A = 1 (Very Good): 87 - 100%
B = 2 (Good): 75 - 86,99%
C = 3 (Satisfactory): 63 - 74,99%
D = 4 (Enough): 50 - 62,99%
F = 5 (Not Enough): 00 - 49,99%

Prüfungsstoff
Course readings combine general methodological literature with specialist literature from the field of visual and multimodal anthropology. In addition, some films, sound fragments, and drawings will need to be studied in advance of the classes.Advanced Master students, who already have a supervisor and a first draft of their Ma research concept, can choose their own fieldwork location - as long as it closely relates to their Ma thesis concept. All other students conduct their fieldwork project in an education institution - this can be the university itself, or a sports or music school to which they have access, for example.

Zuordnung im Vorlesungsverzeichnis
Letzte Änderung: Do 15.12.2022 09:08
- have gained knowledge of the principles and practices of ethnographic research;
- have gained experience with the use of different media as methods in ethnographic research (drawing, sound recording, and camera work) - practices developed in the field of visual and multimodal anthropology;
- have critically reflected on the possible affordances and drawbacks of using these media practices in ethnographic research; including challenges related to research ethics.The long-term aim of the course is to enable students to conduct ethnographic research independently, in the future.Course set-up
The course challenges students to think about ethnographic research practices in relation with media practices, so that they can consider if, when, and how certain media practices can strengthen ethnographic research. During theoretical introduction seminars, students learn how anthropologists have employed different media as research methods in the past and present. During workshops, students participate in hands-on media work (e.g. drawing or sound recording), after which they conduct a fieldwork assignment to implement what they have learnt. In student-oriented seminars, students present their assignments and engage in peer-to-peer discussion about their challenges, while the lecturer links student experiences back to discussions in the (sub)discipline of visual and multimodal anthropology.
