- Oktatás célja
- The aim of the course is to interpret ethnicity, nationalism and cultural identity from a cultural anthropological perspective with the help of broad research and descriptions of the Hungarian culture and numerous case studies, slides, movies, arts, online media clips and lyrics. The objectives and case studies of the course familiarize the students with the variety and complexity of ethnicity and nationalism. Consequently, the goal of the proposed topics is to give relevant knowledge and interpretation skills to the students about the cultural-social-political processes and historical-ethnographical contexts of the Eastern and Central European cultures, minorities, religious groups, different identities, subcultures, local cultures, national myths, rituals and recent folklore. The long-term goal of the course is for the students to interpret their cultural identity in a reflective and analytical way using the approaches, theories and interpretations applied in the semester.
- Tantárgy tartalma
- Who are we? Who do we belong to, identify with, or distinguish ourselves from? Do we have "stabile", "unchangeable" ethnic and national identity? With the help of cultural anthropological research, we can see multiply examples how identity is a complex and fluid component of cultures. All these approaches and studies can give us great opportunities to think and re-think our ties towards "ourselves" and "others". Furthermore, phenomena and significances of ethnicity and nationalism are specifically interesting and important for understanding cultural identities in Eastern and Central Europe. Despite our historical and socio-cultural similarities, the knowledge about our common historical contexts, social and political problems could be deeper in Eastern and Central Europe. The course will give opportunity for interactions between the students and the lecturer to discuss and dispute the arising questions.
