Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: This reading course will start with a critical overview of the development of African Studies, its positioning and current role. Following this, in the main body of the course we will introduce in historical and contemporary perspective an exemplary selection of important topics, debates and authors relevant for the field of African Studies. We will approach the literature from the perspective of Five General Questions about Africa. We will critically examine the topics and perspectives implied in these questions, and the diverse answers provided by authors working in various disciplines within African Studies.
