    Information

    Aims, contents and method of the course

    Ethnohistory as a theory and method developed in Vienna. The cooperation between ethnology and history has always been of central importance here and it was here that the main impulses for this cooperation originated. Based on the fundamental concepts and theoretical considerations, the course discusses the essential elements of ethnohistorical work within ethnology and cultural and social anthropology. In particular, the importance of ethnohistory for a critical view of the present and the social challenges of the future will be the focus of the course.

    Assessment and permitted materials

    One-hour written attendance examination at the end of the course in which four questions are asked and all four must be answered.

    Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

    For a positive assessment, 50% of the points must be achieved. (4 questions of 4 pts each; total 16 pts; positive from 9 pts).
    The evaluation is based on a point system: 16 points are awarded. 0-8 points = insufficient; 9-10 points = sufficient; 11-12 points = satisfactory; 13-14 points = good; 15-16 points = very good.

    Examination topics

    1.) course content;
    2.) Articles and book excerpts that are explicitly referenced (and partly made available on the moodle platform).
    In the course, articles and books on the topic will be discussed, recommended and some of them will be named as examination material. On the moodle platform set up for this lecture, pdf's of articles will be made available, as well as the slides of the Power-Point presentations used.
