Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
What ideas and arguments have anthropologists contributed to our understanding of media? Which topics have they studied and which theoretical positions have they taken? The course is for students with an interest in investigating media practices from an anthropological perspective. It offers an overview of anthropological questions, concepts, methods, and ethnographic case studies. It includes varied media examples from different parts of the world: from print newspapers in the 18th century Americas to fake images in contemporary Brazil, and from TV audiences in Europe to online religious practices in the Bay of Bengal. Students will obtain a comprehensive understanding of research conducted and arguments articulated in media anthropology. Media anthropology is a specialised subfield of anthropology, which partly overlaps with visual anthropology, multimodal anthropology, digital anthropology, cultural studies, and media studies.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
There will be a final exam for this class worth 100% of the final grade. This exam will include 25 multiple choice questions (50 points) and two open questions that need to be answered in ½ A4 per question (50 points), based on the assigned study materials (both readings and films).The exam will take 1,5 hours. The time calculation is based on 40 minutes for the multiple-choice questions (1,5 minute per question), 30 minutes for the writing of 1 A4 page, and 20 minutes for revision of the answers. The exam is planned in presence, on paper, in the classroom. Students will not be allowed to bring reading materials or digital equipment to the exam. A dictionary is allowed.A maximum of 10% bonus points can be credited upon successful completion of a mid-term assignment that reflects on students’ participation in an event as part of the ethnocineca film festival (May 8th to 14th).
