Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course is part of the "study project" format. A study project is a two-semester course in which a research topic is pursued in several coordinated sub-projects and presented to the public. The study project consists of two courses: M610 Project and M620 Research Workshop. In the project, the theoretical requirements are discussed and questions for the student's own research are developed; in the research workshop, research questions and methods are developed and their implementation is monitored. Successful participation requires the completion of both semesters and courses.
The topic of the study project is the cultural analysis of the "Capital of Culture Bad Ischl/Salzkammergut" (2024). The popularity and design of the EU title currently dominates the Austrian media, visual worlds and events not only in the Salzkammergut. The EE/EKW institutes in Austria have been conducting ethnographic research into this process since 2021. Based on the sources and findings generated in the process, the study project will explore issues relating to the history and regional identity of the Salzkammergut as well as the concept and conflicts of the KHS in greater depth and present them in a joint product.
As a result of the study project, the design and realisation of a "theme path" is under discussion. In this way, the study project aims to communicate science to a broad public (third mission) and contributes to a topic of regional identity construction in the context of the EU that is highly present in the media from a cultural studies perspective.

Assessment and permitted materials

Two-semester, examination-immanent course. 2 x absences allowed per semester. Students acquire knowledge about the subject area of the seminar and carry out their own research, which results in a self-written text. In the first semester, the state of research is analysed, questions for own contributions are developed and sources are viewed and generated. The aim of the second semester is to finalise the thematic path.
