Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Safety and security entail surveillance and control and yet are ruptured constantly by acts of violence – not only elsewhere but close by, at home. This apparent contradiction is analysed by researching historic and recent events and their representations.This is an inter-active course. Apart from introductory input and impulse lecturing the seminar is based on intense communication, open discussion, active contribution and group work of all participants, and makes use of multi-media materials and seminal texts.
Assessment and permitted materials
Continuous assessment, 10minutes presentation and a final seminar paper.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Marking is based on active participation including collective and peer-group discussion and short written work (30%), 10 minutes presentation (25%), and final paper (aprox. 15.000 characters; 45%).
Closing date for final paper delivery: 31.07.2023
Closing date for final paper delivery: 31.07.2023
Examination topics
