Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The main aim of the course is to provide students with background knowledge and an overview on topics in preparation for the fieldwork course in Romania in the summer term 2024. Participants will start to develop their ideas for research grounded in discussions of compulsory readings in class. We will begin with an overview on (post-) socialist developments in access to natural resources and care. Another central topic will be the reflection of East West hierarchies with special emphasis on the academic world. Furthermore, selected readings will introduce topics of ecological infrastructures, and access to diverse resources including care. Reading ethnographies from both, the wider region but also elsewhere will provide the students with a solid basis to develop their topics of research for either the next term and/or their MA thesis. Linguistic competencies in Romanian, a related language or another spoken language in Romania (e.g. Hungarian, Bulgarian, Russian) would count as an asset.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Regular attendance is a requirement. Two sessions may be missed. With three absences, a compensation must be discussed with the teacher.The assessment is based on four 4 parts, which each account for 25 points maximum:
1) Active reading and oral participation in the class
2) Short presentation of one of the texts (10 minutes) and preparing the discussion
3) Five short response papers for assigned readings (1-2 pages)
4) Final term paper in relation to a possible research project of about ca. 8-10 pages to submitted until February 9th 2023 (noon)

The use of AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for the attainment of partial achievements is only allowed if explicitly requested by the course instructor.
