Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The highest possible score to achieve is 100.50 points: Average of two mid-term papers to show mastery of course literature.
10 points: A film plan, on the basis of visual analysis of existing images, which translates one key idea from the compulsory course literature into images/sounds.
40 points: Short film: individual contribution to the final outcome during the exhibition, including one’s contribution to collaborative work during the creation process.To pass the course, a minimum of 61 points is required.
91-100 = 1, excellent
81-90 = 2, good
71-80 = 3, satisfactory
61-70 = 4, sufficient
0060 = 5, failedWritten contributions will be evaluated with the following criteria:
-knowledge of compulsory course literature: accurate representation and understanding of key arguments in this literature.
-image application: ability to translate a key idea from the literature into image, clarity of link between image and literature.
-academic argument: focus, structure, clarity of reasoning
-formal requirements, especially resource citation: use the IKSA Writing Guidelines.The short film and film proposal will be evaluated along the following criteria:
-conceptual link with the course literature: selection of a concept, understanding of this concept, application;
-visual analysis: ability to conduct research into a subset of existing images;
-aesthetics: choice of form that suits the concept, skill in implementing it, creativity and originality;
-contributions to both collaborative and individual work during the creation process;
-formal requirements: in the film, just as in the papers, all resources should be properly referenced.The lecturer can invite students to a grade-relevant discussion about partial achievements. Partial achievements that are obtained by fraud or plagiarized result in the non-evaluation of the course (entry 'X' in certificate).

Zuordnung im Vorlesungsverzeichnis
Letzte Änderung: Do 03.03.2022 16:09
After completing this course,
-Students have gained theoretical knowledge about the ‘politics of (in)visibility’, or more broadly the politics of aesthetics.
-Students can reflect on how the discipline of (visual/multimodal) anthropology is influenced by these politics or provides possible alternatives to them, and feel challenged to find a position of their own.
-Students can translate concepts into images and can work with analogue and digital techniques of montage to demonstrate or construct theory.Course set-up
The course has two parts. The first part consists of reading seminars. Students prepare classes by reading literature, viewing related images, and writing short papers that draw connections between concepts and images. In the second part of the course, students work on a visual research project with a multimodal outcome. They collect visual materials, gain experience with techniques of montage, and produce an aesthetic intervention: a short montage film, which is exhibited.Entry requirements:
This class is directed at anthropology students. No specific technical skills are required. To assess the existing skills and interests within the classroom, students will bring a portfolio to the first meeting, to show what their previous experience with artistic or media production is, and discuss their personal aims/motivation for taking the class. Bring any creative product you have created: this can be film, photographs, drawings, graphics, music, soundscapes, poetry, or a website.
