Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar introduces family structures in China, memory, family memory, and inter- or transgenerational transmission. Students will have the opportunity to choose appropriate methodological settings to tell, document, and analyze their own family history.
In addition to the familiar seminar format of reading, presentation, and discussion, there will also be a "research lab" in the form of a "talking lab." It is designed as a research experience of our own, where we will meet in different settings, including virtual ones, in order to gain sensitivity to the different methods of gathering and processing information about family histories.
