Inhalt
Postcolonial theory refers to the analysis and understanding of how European powers and intellectuals saw and depicted the cultures and societies of the East (the Balkans, the Middle East, Asia, Oceania, and Africa). Throughout the 19th century, European empires justified their expansions with an intense scientific focus on the life and habits of the people they conquered. The German and the Austro-Hungarian Empires, latecomers in the process, were looking for their share and challenged the order established by Britain and France. Yet, they advanced in probing scientific knowledge on the exotic lands and their peoples.This course will study the interaction of gender, race, class, and desire in the creation and consumption of scientific knowledge in colonial territories (the Balkans for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Africa and the Pacific for the German Empire), with an emphasis on the original English and German language texts dealing with sexuality and gender in the colonial territories (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Namibia, Tanzania, Samoa and other). We will examine the manners in which their authors portrayed and negotiated these themes within the context of European ethnography and its legacy, as well as the circulation and reception of these materials worldwide.
Through this course, the students will have the following:
• Knowledge of postcolonial theories in cultural studies and ability to differentiate between theoretical concepts dealing with the colonial projects
• Application and transfer of the learned contents and methodological approaches to concrete problems (to carry out research and develop argumentation)
• Critical reflection on the academic literature on the basis of cultural theoretical approaches and understanding the role of the sciences (ethnology, anthropology, geography) in influencing social ideas of gender, race, and desire
• Historical classification of the most important cultural theories and their representatives
