Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

This seminar aims on the one hand to provide a critical view to the discussions of the changing context of data collection and fieldwork especially within the frame of globalization and increasing transnationalism, on the other hand to accompany the students in preparing their research proposals. What are the effects of globalization on the traditional methods and concepts of fieldwork, case selection and the very concept of unit of analysis? How do the changing notions of 'field site', 'locality', 'community' and 'accessibility' alter the ethnographic encounter? The students are encouraged to critically rethink these categories in designing their research and writing their research proposal.

Given the current research interests of the instructor, this course targets students writing their thesis on migration and /or urban transformations as well as cultural industries.

Prüfungsstoff

The course is organized as seminars in which the students are expected to participate actively. Each session’s readings will be introduced by a student. The student(s) responsible for introducing the readings will send a synopsis of the presentation (max. 3 pages) to the instructor two days before the seminar. Each student is expected to prepare, present and discuss his/her research proposal during the course.
