Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: The module focuses on how scholars of anthropology communicate their ideas. It combines a reading class on politics surrounding ecological imagination and environmentally concerned action (along the lines of themes presented in the lectures) with participation in the Lecture Series “Contested Ecologies.” We will read the presenters’ and/or related texts before joining their presentation, to then engage in informed discussions with them. In the following seminar, we will digest and discuss our learnings on the basis of individual students’ contributions to the debate.
Organisatorisches: Compulsory Reading: Students read one or two preparatory texts for each session (see moodle) Portfolio: Each session contains a small preparatory task (e.g. writing mini essays, explain terms, compare text and lecture etc.) of usually 1/2 to 1 page. During the semester, students have to submit at least 3 of these exercises and receive short feedback on these. Assignment: Classical: Thesis/Essay of 5,000 words +/-500, at least 10 references, due date: Sep 30, 2023 OR Creative/Artistic Response: This course grants space for producing a scholarly ‘output’ that speaks to a broader, non-academic audience. For instance, you may write a script for a podcast that deepens engagement with one of the seminar’s themes, design a graphic novel (+ a short academic text accompanying the novel) or other form of creative output. Please note that all of these forms nevertheless require intense reading into a topic; however, the way you express or communicate your knowledge can differ from classical essay writing, due date: Sep 30, 2023
