| Omschrijving |
The city of Groningen is the proud owner of a neighborhood, in which all streets are named after famous Christian theologians from the past such as Saint Augustine, Calvin and Bonhoeffer. There is only one female theologian in evidence, the German Dorothee Sölle (1929-2003). Her Söllepad, a narrow lane for cyclists, appears to be an afterthought. This example puts us right in the middle of what this course is about: how heritage is produced and acknowledged and how marginalized groups such as non-males, those who do not comply to the heterosexual norm, and those who are not included in official narratives are left out. It addresses questions such as: do these groups have a heritage? Who decides what counts as heritage? How can marginalized groups make sure that their heritage survives and is taken into account? Moreover: how does heritage work for these groups? Especially religious heritage is often invoked to keep them in their places. How to counter this? The course has both a theoretical and a practical angle. Classical texts and key scholarship on diversity and gender will be studied as well as topical cases. The course will be focused on the situation in Western Europe and Asia. |

ReMa studenten hebben een andere cursuscode: THRM-GDRH5. Voor deze studenten wordt een extra opdracht geformuleerd.
In geval van noodsituaties of overmacht, zoals een maatschappelijke lockdown, moeten er mogelijk wijzigingen worden aangebracht in de lesroosters, toetsing en beoordeling. De docent zal je zo snel mogelijk informeren over deze wijzigingen, mocht een dergelijke situatie zich voordoen. |
