Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
A number of theories that have significantly enriched the field of ethnology or cultural and social anthropology over the past 150 years or so are based on field research in Oceania and on objects that originated there. Be it W.H.R. Rivers, Bronislaw Malinowski or Raymond Firth - to name but a few - they all contributed significantly to the emergence, development and advancement of our discipline. In this course, the most important results of the best-known and most influential representatives of our subject are presented as examples and their references to Oceania are worked out in detail. Both theory formation and methodological practices have received their impetus with and through the study of the Pacific Islands.
Assessment and permitted materials
After several introductory double lessons by the course instructor, the seminar participants must each choose a person or their work from a list of suggestions. For a short presentation in the seminar as well as for the preparation of a written seminar paper, they should deal with this person and their work in the context of a small research project. Any specialist literature used for this purpose is permitted and welcome.For the overall grade, 1) active participation in the seminar, 2) the short presentation on the chosen topic and 3) the preparation of a written seminar paper of approx. 10 A4 pages are required.
