AIMS AND CONTENT “Honour“ is a key theme of the anthropology of the Mediterranean societies since the 1960ies, but the recent so-called „killings in the name honour“ have made it clear that this question concerns immigrants and natives in today’s Germany as well. The course will introduce into several perspectives on what is „honour“. (“Ehre“ ist ein Schlüsselthema der Ethnologie des Mittelmeerraums seit den 1960ern, aber die sog. „Ehrenmorde“ haben jüngst verdeutlicht, dass dies auch eine Frage, die uns, Immigranten und Eingeborene, im heutigen Deutschland betrifft. Das Semi-nar führt in unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf Ehre ein). TEACHING METHODS Seminar with group discussions, research travel, workshops, ac-companied by directed reading and study on your own. Presentation and critiques of selected texts. ASSESSMENT METHODS Participation in the discussion, oral presentation of a theme plus a short written paper.
