Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Die Lehrveranstaltung wird vor allem Seminarcharakter haben. Nach einer zwei Blöcke umfassenden Einführung in die Geschichte und Gegenwart der Kulturen Alaskas, werden die verbleibenden sechs Blöcke der Präsentation und Diskussion gewidmet werden.
Assessment and permitted materials
Die zentralen Elemente des Leistungsnachweises werden das Verfassen einer schriftlichen Arbeit, eine Internetrecherche, die Präsentation von einem oder mehr Referaten, sowie der Grad der Diskussionsbeteiligung sein.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Alaska ist in den letzten Jahren im Zuge von Klimadebatten durch Bilder von ertrinkenden Eisbären und ins Meer stürzenden indigenen Siedlungen geprägt. Das verstellt oft den Blick darauf dass Alaska gleichzeitig auch einer der reichsten Bundesstaaten der USA ist, der weitgehend durch den 'American way of life' charakterisiert ist. Die Lehrveranstaltung will die Vielfalt indigener und nicht-indigener Kulturen Alaskas in Vergangenheit (inklusive der Russisch-Amerikanischen Periode) und Gegenwart vermitteln.
