This is a special course bringing together students who do not study history to get to know Germany better from a historical perspective. It is not a lecture. In fact, good discussions and results will largely depend on active participation and sharing of different views.
Preparing the sessions properly and getting a good grasp of the reading materials will be key.

Content
During the first half of the 20th century Germany went through various political disruptions and transitions: The powerful Empire in the center of Europe saw an abrupt end with the defeat in First World War. The democratic system of the Weimar Republic fell prey to political unrest and economic chaos which paved the way for the totalitarian Nazi State in 1933. Twelve years later, the future of a German state was totally depended on the decisions of the allied powers. The hybris of nationalism, the devastation by war as well as the fragility of economic welfare as well as democratic system have a lasting mark on the collective memory of the German people.
The seminar is open to incoming students from all academic disciplines and levels. Together we will look at major phases of German history in the period of 1900 to 1950: Why did the German Empire fail to establish a stable position among the nations in Europe? What were the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic? How did the Nazis establish their regime of terror? What were the main reasons for Germany to split into two antagonistic states?
In addition to major political developments, we will also look at underlying social and cultural changes and how the lives of German people changed during this period.

The course is based on selected sections of the following books:
- Mary Fulbrook, A History of Germany 1918–2014: The Divided Nation, Fifth Edition. Chichester 2021.
- Helmut Walser Smith (ed.): Oxford Handbook of Modern German History, Oxford et al. 2011.
- Helmut Walser Smith: Germany. A Nation in its Time. Before, during, and after Nationalism, 1500-2000, New York 2020.

It is planned to have one excursion: Heidelberg (visit of the Friederich-Ebert-Gedenkstätte)

Time: Wednesdays, 10:15 - 11:45
Location: Philosphicum, room P13

Content
As a result of the Second World War Germany was cut into two states that belonged to two hostile blocs. The Cold War brought about a divided nation with very different political systems, economic structures, and social experiences. While it appeared more and more unlikely for the two German states to reunite at some point this prospect was never given up. It was to the big surprise of most people, however, when reunification barged its way against all odds. In the wake of the legal unification the process of uniting mentally and emotionally is still ongoing.
The seminar is open to incoming students from all academic disciplines and levels. Together we will look at major phases of German history in the period of 1950 to 2000: How was Germany torn apart during the Cold War? How did the two Germanys live side by side and developed a more pragmatic cohabitation till the mid-1980s? What the reasons for the socialist countries to shed their communist rule? What were the steps to implement the unification? And finally, how is Germany transforming within a uniting Europe?
In addition to major political developments, we will also look at underlying social and cultural changes and how the lives of German people changed during this period.

Course description

Soup and community kitchens are a response to hunger. As a response to food insecurity and scarcity, public or private benefactors step in and provide meals. Or so the story goes. In this course, we will take a critical look at the history and ethnography of soup kitchens. We will ask questions like: What does it mean to provide “relief,” “charity,” or “welfare” in different places, milieus, and times? What type of provisions are furnished for the hungry and what role do changing medical and nutritional standards play in this regard? Who are the sponsors and patrons of soup kitchens? Is feeding people  a (religious or political) duty, a benevolent act, or maybe an economic opportunity? What ideals, methods, bureaucracies, or technologies determine who receives food aid and how it is distributed? What are the circumstances that make people require food aid and how do people navigate systems of relief? We will reflect on soup kitchens as sites of charity, care, and solidarity; of medical and technical innovation; of military organization and efficiency; of inspiring social justice or cementing hierarchies and economic divisions. We will approach the topic by analyzing historical sources and ethnographic material. Readings from historical and ethnographic literature will provide context and demonstrate some exemplary academic approaches to the topic.

Course description

Each disciplinary history of folklore—as practiced in different national cultures—is the product of specific societal, regional, and even institutional contexts. Nonetheless, there are national, international, and transnational moments and turns that can write the “global” and “transnational” histories of our discipline. This course is based on the assumption that differences in the disciplinary histories of folklore studies are what divide us. However, these accounts also unite us as folklorists working in the transnational realm. Taking diverse accounts of disciplinary histories on both sides of the Atlantic, this course will critically situate different historical moments and attempt to map out transnational scholarly exchanges, which can be unpacked through numerous case studies. Working and thinking together with interested students, we will explore the interwoven history of travelling ideas and scholars that will reveal the neglected, interesting, and invisible trajectories of folklore studies.

Course description

As contemporary art practice shifts from experimental transgression to the urge to provide a "safe space for everyone", today's artists are confronted with the following issues. How to still touch the audience without potential re-traumatization? How to tell the stories that move the spectator without harm? The subject of a “safe creative process” is certainly one of the most pressing challenges facing our industry.

The creative process demands artistic vision. Vision requires courage. The proximity of courage and power is dangerous.

It has been more than 50 years since the premiere of Last Tango in Paris, currently the most widely discussed example of abuse of power in film history. How can we understand the power dynamics in the creative process? How can we reduce the potential for manipulation and abuse on film sets? What is the greatest challenge in implementing a culture of consent in the theatre? What is required of an intimacy coordinator, an intimacy director, and a consent coach? How do these professions differ?

Content Warning:
The seminar will include language related to s*xual abuse, harassment, and traumatic experiences, as well as body movement exercises – working in pairs requires consensual touching.

Kasia Szustow is a certified intimacy coordinator (affiliation: Netflix, Sefe Sets), member of the European Intimacy Practitioners' Guild, crisis coach and facilitator of safe creative processes. Co-author of the "Polish Guidelines for Intimate Scenes" developed by a coalition of 11 film organisations. Graduate of the Theatre Academy in Warsaw and the Warsaw School of Economics.

As an intimacy coordinator she worked on 10 film productions just to mention: "Perfect Addition" (dir. Castille Landon, stars: Ross Butler, Kiana Madeira, Matthew Noszka, Constantin Film, premiere: 2023), "Elephant" (dir. Kamil Krawczycki, 2022, best micro-budget film, Gdynia, winner of Chicago LGBTQIA Film Festival), "Filip" (dir. Michal Kwiecinski, 2022, Silver Lions, Gdynia Festival), "Rojst'97" (dir. Jan Holoubek, Netflix). She finished shooting three productions for: disney+ and Gaumont Gmbh (“German House” mini-series), Constantin Film “In The Lost Lands” (stars: Milla Jovovich, Dave Bautista), Netflix (“Freestyle” dir. Maciej Bochniak). Kasia just wrapped polish “Lubie wracac” dir. By Malgorzata Szumowska & Michal Englert, stars: Joana Kulig), she is currently working on a Swiss series for SRF&Netflix (TBA).

As a Consent Coach she provides individual support systems for challenging creative projects, and as a Crisis Coach she helps cultural organisations to implement an efficient and non-violent organisational culture.

Szustow has worked for Schauspielhaus Zürich on two productions as an Intimacy Coach for "Kurze Interviews mit fiesen Männern – 22 Arten der Einsamkeit" based on David F. Wallace, directed by Yana Ross (2021), and as Consent Coach for the production "Wilhelm Tell" by Switzerland's most important director Milo Rau (2022).

During this seminar, we will look at the study of popular music(s) from an anthropological lens. Throughout the semester we will discuss what anthropology of music is how we can make sense of social and cultural issues through musical expressions and how these musical expressions may challenge our everyday understandings of identity(s), power structures and social belonging. Our foundational understanding of anthropology of music will later be applied to various ethnographies in the seminar.

Prior to the seminar; please start thinking about what musics you listen and why (example: why is that kind of expression important to you (or not!). Please get yourself familiar with theories such as intersectional theory, if you already are not familiar with.

Course description

Dance is an integral part of the African experience. It is very much connected to the music, and by extension the language of the people. Owing to the vast number of African ethnicities and languages, African dances are equally different and innumerable. However, unlike dance in other parts of the world, African dance is closely tied to the everyday lives of the people. It is a means for communicating emotion, sentiment, and beliefs through movement (Green, 1996). Dance is used to narrate historical occurrences, mark festive occasions, celebrate rites of passage, and perform religious ceremonies among others. Through specific movements stories are told. For example, the Ewe ethnic group from Ghana mimic the movement of the bird’s wings in a dance that tells the story of how their migration from Benin to Ghana was guided by a bird (Opoku, 1969).
Transcultural interaction shapes changes in languages and music, and this true for popular dance as well. In recent times, contemporary African dance while still closely connected to music, is taking up a transnational shape. This has resulted in what is popularly called Afrodance (or Afrobeats dance). Afrodance takes the shape of a pan-African dance form in which movements are drawn from across Africa. These movements emerge, much like African dance before, in close connection with certain songs or occurrences. However, they are amalgamated into a dance form that is making global waves. Closely linked to Afrobeats music, Afrodance is present in music videos and is the subject of memetic content creation of digital platforms. Its popularity has led to the rise in online dance classes across the world, with some currently translating into physical dance studios. It has also led to the emergence of Ghana and Nigeria as centres of popular culture where people visit to learn and improve their dance skills.
In this seminar, we will discuss dance as an African cultural practice to understand its significance in African societies. We will also examine the emergence of contemporary dance from Africa, Afrodance, and the cultures that are developing around it.

Course description

Archaeological research primarily concerns deciphering the behaviors and activities of past societies based on static archaeological record. This is particularly challenging in Prehistoric Archaeology, due to the scarcity of evidence and the lack of direct analogies to the lifestyle and material culture of that time period. In addition to ethnographic studies, experimental archaeology plays a crucial role in understanding the material culture of the past.

Experimental archaeology involves the use of experimental studies to test ideas about patterns that are observed in archaeological data. Through experiments focused on the production and utilization of objects, we gain insight into the behaviors that created archaeological objects. Additionally, experimental archaeology allows us to reconstruct the processes that can affect archaeological objects and assemblages.

This course will explore theoretical and methodological foundations of experimental archaeology and provide in-depth analysis of several case studies involving the production and use of technologies from the past - stone, bone, pottery, and metal.

Course topics:
theoretical background of experimental archaeology and its significance in scientific research
different experimental approaches including experiential studies and well-designed experiments
methodological developments within the field of experimental archaeology
application of data and results obtained from experimental archaeology to the archaeological record, incorporating archaeological case studies and data modeling

Who is Jesus Christ for us today? Often we are told of Christology formulated only in the Euro-American theological traditions. Who do the others say Jesus Christ is? A number of Christological sketches from other continents will give us a good introduction to intercultural theology. Here you can encounter contextual theologies often compounded with the following words - Liberation, Black, Mestizo, Minjung, Inculturation, Dialogue, Post-colonial and so on. We will examine together the theological biographies and the Christological positions of contextual theologians from Latin America, Africa, Asia and ethnic minorities in the USA.

Course description

Israel is a multicultural society diverse through ethnicity, migration, religion, politics, economics, gender, geography, and more. These characteristics are issues for inequality and enmity as well as celebration and cultural enrichment. In this course, we will explore Israeli society, the fundamental issues, the current events, and the historical roots, of a young and vibrant society shaping its present and debating its future. In this journey, we will utilize the mediated sphere (e.g., mainstream, minority, foreign/international, and social networks) reflecting the societal role of media in Israel. While the course reading will include theoretical and empirical scientific literature, the consumption of news, movies, television series, social media influencers, etc. operated/produced by Israelis or discussing Israelis (including German and international sources) is highly encouraged during the semester.

Course description

Social Simulation is a type of modelling for social scientists and computer scientists which has been gaining interest as a result of extremely affordable computing power and a rising interest in complex systems methods and approaches to understanding the world. Many approaches to simulation are now accessible to social scientists with some programming skills who seek to develop a deeper understanding of social and economic issues and problems, centering on “complexity” ideas: evolution, adaptation, nonlinear behavior, emergence and self-organization. These approaches have become essential tools for social scientists in a wide range of fields, sociology, economics, cognitive psychology, organizational theory, political science and geography, and are now also part of the toolbox for computer scientists interested in distributed artificial intelligence and multi-agent technologies. Of primary concern are multi-level simulation models that allow simultaneous consideration of multiple levels of systems and processes of interest (social, economic, environmental), and have users alternate between views on macro and micro behaviors, and possibly levels in between. The most common approach to multi-level simulation, agent-based modelling, allows for hetero­geneity in simulated behaviors of the “agents” on the lower levels (representing, for instance, individuals, groups, organizations or networks). This provides to scientists the opportunity for (much) higher degrees of detail when observing “in silico” complex evolutionary phenomena, as opposed to some very abstract mathematical models.

This seminar offers an introduction to common approaches in Social Simulation. It opens up questions with regard to opportunities and limitations that characterize the state-of-the-art for each simulation method (on its own, but without disregarding the projects that seek to develop “hybrid” modelling techniques across strands of simulation research, building first and foremost on agent-based approaches). It will also assist in developing appreciation for the common elements of Social Simulation workflows, for instance: the theoretical discussion of a model’s conceptual framework, the data-to-model links, and communication of results of simulation research.

Course description

This *** English-language *** lecture, which focuses on aspects of both (selected) international book markets (i.e. ones outside Germany) in the plural and the one, international book market in the singular, asks centrally for explanations of obvious differences and analyses developments and endeavours that constitute the one international book market alongside the national ones.

I will start illustrating the differences between national book markets by means of not least figures. In the search for the reasons for the differences, I will, among other things, illuminate the concept of national book cultures, including the respective book policies that are naturally connected with them.

As far as the connections and convergences of these national book markets in the direction of an international book market are concerned, I will cover economic and cultural globalisation, global trends (not least in connection with digitisation), licensing relationships and international publishing conglomerates and strategies, but also, for example, the packaging for international markets and international co-productions.

In the course of the semester, I will present a few selected book markets in more detail and in a vivid national context, or have guests present them, respectively, and then also look at other specific agents of internationalisation, e.g. the international book fairs and associations as well as supranational policy approaches. Finally, I will discuss counter-movements to mainstream internationalization (in publishing), such as those discussed in the discourses on small nation publishing and diversity, which are not least brought to the fore by activists.

A list of references will be made accessible to participants at the beginning of the semester.

Course description

“Only anthropophagy unites us,” famously wrote Oswald de Andrade in his Anthropophagous Manifesto in 1928. Up until then, anthropophagy (or cannibalism) was seen by the White invaders as a barbarous reaction by the Indigenous peoples they feared. Transformed into a metaphor for the assimilation of external influences for the production of a new, unique local culture, Anthropophagy became a more digestible concept – one that could even “unite” all sorts of Brazilian social strata. The cultural cannibalism defended by Oswald and others in the “Revista de Antropofagia” represented not only a modus operandi of the Brazilian avant-garde of the 1920s, but was culturally re-interpreted various times since then. This concept was particularly fruitful for the Tropicália moment in the 1960s and 1970s – in the fields of visual arts, literature, music, and cinema. In the 21st century, artists and thinkers from varied indigenous populations have helped us to look more critically at this almost harmless deviation from the original anthropophagic attitude. In this seminar, we will watch and analyze films related to, influenced by, or critical of the concept of Anthropophagy in search of different Brazilian film (hi)stories.

In this Blockseminar, we will study the history of Turkish German film cultures from West Germany’s recruitment of labor migrants from Turkey up through the present, with a focus on the relocation of Turkish German cinema across media formats and transnational spaces. Moving chronologically, we will begin by analyzing historical infrastructures of Turkish film and video established by migrants in West Germany alongside early portrayals of migration to Germany in Turkish cinema. Focal points of our seminar will include the shifting portrayals of migrants by German and Turkish filmmakers in West Germany, the discursive emergence of “Turkish German cinema” around the late ‘90s and the turn of the 21st century, and contemporary films and multimedia artworks that explore present-day topics surrounding archives of migration, right-wing violence, and postmigrant societies. Special attention will be given to representational strategies around issues of gender, sexuality, class, race, ethnic minorities, and religious difference. Readings will be drawn from various fields in addition to film studies, including anthropology and migration studies as well as Turkish German literature and theater.

Course description

The aim of this advanced seminar is to critically engage and reflect on current concepts and theories of globalisation and development. Students learn to differentiate and contextualise the role of different actors and perspectives (e.g., national policies, supranational institutions, non-governmental activists, civil society, etc.) on global phenomena. Students also learn how to transfer theoretical and epistemological ideas to “real world” issues by discussing current utopias and dystopias that are at stake. Informed by conceptual key readings students will approach and discuss different ideas (e.g., of climate justice, geo-engineering, the sustainability paradigm, postcolonial studies, etc.) in role games, round table discussions etc. to develop a critical understanding for a multi-scalar and multi-perspective argumentation for current global topics and crises. Participants learn to visually illustrate complex topics and to present them in a poster. Acquired skills must be demonstrated in an oral examination at the end of the term.

Course description

The advanced seminar introduces students to the field of media geography with a specific emphasis on the interrelations between media, space, and place. The seminar aims for students to acquire relevant theoretical fundamentals of media geography and enables them to deal critically with a globalised and media-charged world. This seminar consists of two parts: In the first part of the seminar, a focus is set on theoretical fundamentals of media geography. The participants deal with established specialist articles on various media geography-related topics. Based on key readings students will generate a sound knowledge of media-geographical thought. The students learn to engage with theoretical approaches and concepts, to reflect on them critically and develop clear discussion arguments. Therefore, theoretical concepts are connected to concrete media examples. This seminar provides students with an understanding of why media-geographic theories are relevant for understanding everyday phenomena. This aspect will be deepened in the second part of the seminar. It focuses on questions of how specific media (e.g., comic books, street art, film, music and sound, digital platforms, etc.) can be explored from a media geography perspective, and how they can be conceptually and methodologically integrated into research processes. For an applied perspective on the topics discussed in the seminar, students compile a multimedia portfolio (e.g., storytelling, blog, story map, podcast) at the end of the module, in which they critically engage with a current media geography issue. In this project, theoretical frameworks, media examples and a particular research question are combined.

Course description

Sustainable Utopias // Utopian Sustainabilities
We will focus on spectacular projects that mirror sustainable utopias//utopian sustainabilities, reaching from early ideas such as Arcadia (Greek mythology) or Biosphere 2 (Arizona), to most recent visions like Neom/ The Line (Saudi Arabia). We will look at their references, initial ideas and inspirations, the master planning and the de facto realisation (or their achieved stages) in the according historical embeddedness and in their media or cinematic representation (e.g. Elysium, Wakanda Forever, Shangri-La).
Each participant will choose and present one utopian project (imagined, staged in form of sci-fi productions, digitally mediatised, in process of planning, realised etc.).

Against the background of key readings about the different translations of utopia (in literature and media) as well as sustainability (from philosophical to political and ecological definitions) we will critically engage in debating the heterotopian potential and representation of these projects.The aim is to analyse theoretical flaws, empirical limitations or auspicious anticipations of possible futures to come.

A specific focus will be on power-structures between the involved parties and actors of these imagined, planned, and (partly) realized utopias, e.g. the dual use of technological knowledge production for military and scientific use; the demonstration of power and capital; the question of humanity; the ambigious roles of socialism vs.capitalism as framing ideologies, etc.

Course description

VOICES FOR CLIMATE ist die Vorlesungsreihe über die Klimakrise an der JGU Mainz. Spannend und interdisziplinär betrachten wir die Klimakrise aus verschiedensten Perspektiven, von den Naturwissenschaften, über die Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften bis zu Musik, Theologie und vielen mehr. Das Besondere dabei? Wir schauen nicht nur auf den Status Quo, sondern wir setzen uns auch mit dem jetzt notwendigen Handeln auseinander.

Dabei helfen uns Wissenschaftler:innen unterschiedlichster Fachgebiete, die jeweils eine Sitzung zu einem selbst gewählten Schwerpunkt im Themenfeld Klimakrise, Klimagerechtigkeit und Nachhaltigkeit gestalten. Jeden Vorlesungsabend starten wir außerdem mit einem künstlerischen Input. Dieses Mal werden wir an Orte reisen, wo Klimagerechtigkeit und Nachhaltigkeit trotz fehlender nachhaltiger Strukturen bereits gelebt werden.

Die einzelnen Vorlesungen der Reihe sind in ein inhaltliches Gesamtkonzept eingebettet und trotzdem einzeln und asynchron besuchbar. Live dabei sein, ob im Hörsaal oder im Livestream lohnt sich aber. Denn egal ob während der interaktiv gestalteten Inputs oder während der Diskussions- und Fragerunde mit den Referierenden – VOICES FOR CLIMATE bietet viele Möglichkeiten, um aktiv am Erlebnis teilzuhaben.

Course description

The German Conversation Course is intended for exchange students of all subjects with at least completed A2 level who wish to improve their oral expression skills in German and are willing to participate orally in class on a regular basis. Otherwise, students cannot benefit from this course.

The emphasis is on free speaking, which is practiced on the basis of current topics and topics related to Germany.

Important: course registration is only possible via email to gis@international.uni-mainz.de and NOT via the form "Course Registration for Exchange Students". Please send an e-mail during the registration period with your certified German level (if available) and the following information: Last name, first name, country of origin, home university, subject, German level, matriculation number (if already available), e-mail address. Please also state if you have already taken part in a conversation course at JGU. For course A2/B1, please also indicate whether you prefer course A or course B or whether both courses would be an option (of course, you can only attend one course).

Registrations will be accepted during the registration period from 16.10.2023 until (including) 22.10.2023 (earlier registrations will be ignored). If there are more registrations than places, a waiting list will be introduced and informed accordingly. Students who wish to participate in the conversation course for the first time will be prioritized. Students who have already taken a conversation course at JGU can only attend if there is capacity left. On 23.10.2023 you will be informed whether you are in the course or on the waiting list. Please mind that if you are taking the conversation course B2/C1 offered by ISSK (! they have their own registration period !) you will not be able to take this course.

To participate in the A2/B1 course you must have completed at least level A2, to participate in the B2/C1 course you must have completed at least level B2. If your language skills are not at least A2, unfortunately you will not be able to participate in the conversation course because you do not have the appropriate qualifications.

In the first course session, the course instructors will check again whether your language skills match the corresponding course. If this is not the case, you could be placed in the other course. If during the check it is noticed that the speaking abilities are lower than A2, you will not be able to participate in the course, unfortunately.

Please note that the courses will likely not start until the 2nd week of lectures.

Course description

Franz Kafkas Erzählung „Die Verwandlung“, die Geschichte von Gregor Samsa und seiner Verwandlung in ein "ungeheuere[s] Ungeziefer“, zählt zu den bekanntesten und beliebtesten Kafka-Texten. Die Erzählung eignet sich besonders gut dazu, einen Zugang zu Kafka zu finden und sich mit seinen spezifischen Erzählverfahren, seiner Bildlichkeit und den Schwierigkeiten, seine vieldeutigen Texte einer Interpretation zu unterziehen, vertraut zu machen.

Die Übung zielt vor allem auf ein gründliches sprachliches, inhaltliches und strukturelles Verständnis des Textes, das im Rahmen einer schrittweisen, gemeinsamen Lektüre im Unterricht gewonnen werden soll.

Bitte beschaffen Sie sich für den Unterricht unbedingt folgende Textausgabe, sie ist im Buchhandel erhältlich:
Franz Kafka: Die Verwandlung. Hg. v. Ralf Kellermann. Durchgesehene Ausgabe. Ditzingen: Reclam, 2021 (= Reclam XL, Text und Kontext; Band 16109). ISBN-13: 978-3-15-016109-8.

Es können in der Veranstaltung maximal 4 ECTS-Punkte (qualifizierter Schein) erworben werden. Prüfungsform: Mündliche Prüfung. Zur 'aktiven Teilnahme' gehört neben der Lektüre der Erzählung die Mitarbeit im Unterricht.

Wir beginnen mit der ersten Sitzung am Dienstag, dem 31. Oktober. 

Time: Tuesdays, 10:15 - 11:45
Location: Philosophicum, room P110
