Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
Exams:
There are 2 separate exam sections to pass:
1) a class project, either as a final paper (12-15 pgs.) or as an oral presentation (public or within the class group) with a filed manuscript (50%). The on-time project development (topic, abstract, feedbacks) is part of this exam section.
2) participation and performance in class assignments (both in class and take-home), such as short presentations, emceeing, minute papers and group tasks, as well as the participation in and contribution to the class sessions (50%).In agreement with the class, these exam sections are subject to change (e.g. if the group turns out to be very small/very big or depending on the knowledge/experience level of the group).
If you have a condition that adversely affects these exams (dyslexia, phobias – if possible, coordinate beforehand with Team Barrierefrei, https://barrierefrei.univie.ac.at/), please contact the teacher to discuss the possibility of an alternative exam.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Minimal Requirements:
To pass the class, you will need to pass both exam sections with a positive mark (= 4 or above).
The willingness to read (both English and German texts) and to engage in debate is assumed.
Attendance is mandatory. Ideally, you should not miss a single session. You may, however, substitute some of the sessions, after giving prior notice via email, by filing a written class-by-proxy effort ( = short written effort, assigned and filed via Moodle, related to the content of the individual class, with a length of 4000 characters. The task needs to be filed before the following session and will receive feedback).
If you have to miss a class, you will be expected to familiarize yourself with the contents you have missed (including assigned readings)To pass the class, you will have to
• miss class only after having given prior notice
• compensate all absences by a class-by-proxy written effort
• develop and present/file a sufficient semester project
• engage sufficiently in class assignments, with a respectful attitude towards the efforts of your peers
• make at least three contributions of class-relevant content to plenum discussion over the length of the semester
• participate in peer feedback in a sufficient and respectful manner

• Ability to conduct differentiated and self-aware analysis and establish connectivity between historical and present social practices and research questions of Theater Studies and Performance Studies
• Growth of historical and theoretical knowledge in Theater and Performance Studies and ability to connect gained knowledge beyond the class with current and historical theoretical positions, extending to perspectives of social and cultural studies at large.
• Engagement with social realities and structures as constituting factors of theatre, critical reflection of positionality.
• The accompanying development of a class project offers a chance to apply in-depth academic techniques relevant to an upcoming MA graduation project (developing a hypothesis, working with innovative sources and field research, establishing contexts).Contents:
The class examines theater and the formation of theatre structures out of an understanding of theater as Itinerancy/Time-Out/Nomadism, on the one hand looking at the Early Modern Age (development of modern professional theater) with a focus on Spain, on the other hand looking at current societies, where internationally acting groups and the transfer and appropriation of geographically specific practices are part of a global landscape of theatre.
Taking as a starting point the currently once-more fashionable figure of pilgrimage – and in that, a merging of a different spatial and affective placemen – the class looks at conditions of theatre as ‘other’ space and as a care practice.
Are there parallels between Early Modern traveling performers who used their specific, marginalized knowledges as a base for per-per performances? Would a perception as ‘entertainment’ have to be expanded or replaced in this context by a perception as ‘healing’?
Does ‘theater’ (and if so: defined in what way?)
Is ‚Theater‘ (und wenn ja: in welcher Definition?) an intersection, at which current phenomena such as „practices of self-care“ in political activism or rituals of healing and older performative practices of marginalized knowledge(s) may meet?Methods:
• reading(s)
• debate (both plenum and small group)
• small group tasks (including peer feedback)
• analysis of historical and contemporary case studies
• integrated step-by-step development of a semester project (finding a topic, writing an abstract, feedbacking the abstracts of colleagues)
• possibly, excursions and engagements with field experts (depending on availability)
• possibly, organization and attendance of a concluding class symposium
(public) final presentation or final class paper
