Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The greater Oceania region with its sub-regions of Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia exhibits a great diversity of evidence of traditional material culture. These show that the societies of the Pacific islands were complex, developed societies, limited only by the small number of available materials in the production of objects and goods for everyday life and cult. The seminar will use numerous examples to illustrate not only their materiality, but above all their societal, social, political, religious and cultic relevance. Based on the presentation of individual significant objects, all of which originate from Oceania, basic materials are addressed here in their specific contexts of materiality, processing and use. Their functional, social and ritual significance is also discussed as well as there embeddedness in broader socio-cultural contexts. In the seminar, participants will be asked to choose one object each from a list of suggestions in order to examine its function, meaning and use and to present it in a short presentation in the seminar.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
After several introductory double lessons by the course instructor, the seminar participants must each choose a person or their work from a list of suggestions. For a short presentation in the seminar as well as for the preparation of a written seminar paper, they should deal with this person and their work in the context of a small research project. Any specialist literature used for this purpose is permitted and welcome.
For the overall grade, 1) active participation in the seminar, 2) the short presentation on the chosen topic and 3) the preparation of a written seminar paper of approx. 10 A4 pages are required.
