Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The course will be taught jointly by researchers from different institutions and research fields involved in the Cluster of Excellence "Transformations in Eurasia". Our project analyses the Eurasian landmass over the last three millennia in terms of empires, belief systems, written cultures, trade relations, conceptions of space and communication. We invite doctoral students from the full range of philological, historical, cultural or linguistic disciplines with a focus on one of these themes. The seminar will be based on the conceptual content and methodological approaches of the participants' doctoral research projects. In addition, we plan to present and critically discuss a range of current methodological issues, from working with primary sources to questions of cultural heritage. Ideally, by the end of the semester, students will have familiarized themselves with state-of-the-art methods in related disciplines and improved their own methodological techniques and approaches.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Assessment and permitted materialsThis seminar basically consists of presentation and discussion sessions based on readings during which participants will assume various roles. Besides regular and active class participation in all discussion sessions, students must complete the following assignments:1. Oral presentation, including power point and possibly hand out of their own doctoral research project with a focus on the following questions
a) From which discipline do I come and what are the usual ways of approaching texts in this discipline? Are they useful and reflected?
b) What is my question to a certain text or textual corpus? What would I like to find out ("Erkenntnisziel")?
c) How much context do I need in order to address this question?
d) Which methodologies could be useful for my aim and how do I approach these contexts and texts?
2. Oral presentation (and written summary) of an assigned research article on methodology OR
3. Preparation and presentation of critical questions with regard to this research article.
4. In addition, every doctoral student must at least once assume the role of an ‘expert’ in a discussion session (ideally in relation to their own project).
5. At the end, oral presentation of one's own doctoral research project, focusing on how and in what ways the seminar has changed one's methodological thinking.Units
