Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course is approaching the history of development in the 20th century by tales and stories that connect to it. It explores memories and representations of the development encounter in literature and film, and examines how popular narrative worlds interact with institutional discourses of development. The term ‘development encounter' was coined by Arturo Escobar (1991) who described it both as a continuation and a substitution of the colonial encounter. The encounter with ‘development' as a concept and as a field has not only been productive in terms of creating a series of policies and practices such as development planning, for instance, or development aid. It has also produced its own medial forms, cultures, specific languages and epistemologies. How are concepts and practices of development culturally represented? How is ‘development’ presented as practice and ideology, if looked at through narratives created in popular culture, fiction and film?
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Regular attendance; participation in discussions; small assignments; oral presentation; short essay (approx. 7 pages).
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The course aims to create awareness for the role of cultural representations in discourses of development. It encourages students to work with fiction, art and popular culture as a source of knowledge in development studies and provides them with a methodological and theoretical background for that purpose.
Prüfungsstoff
Introduction; presentation and discussion of set reading; close reading and analysis of development narratives in fiction, film and popular media based on theoretical approaches from literary studies, postcolonial studies, gender studies, and media and memory studies.
