| Leerdoelen | Students will be able to explain and identify different theoretical approaches to the study of ritual. They will learn how to apply some aspects of the theoretical frameworks with reference to a case study they select. In writing a report on their investigations the students will learn to systematically describe and structure their findings and also will gain first experience in analyzing the data using some of the theories discussed before. | ||||||||||||||||
| Omschrijving | The first part of the course will focus on different theoretical approaches to the study of ritual. Students will intensively engage with some of the main theoretical perspectives they present and discuss in class. The second part will consist in the preparation and execution of a small case study. With regard to a particular case the students select (based on an empirical inquiry, media or literature research), they will be asked to develop research questions they will investigate then with reference to their chosen case. The third part will deal with the results of and reflection on this case study. The students are asked to write and present a short report in which they are asked to describe their research in a structured way, reflect on the process as well as on the findings and shall attempt a preliminary analysis by referring to some of the theories discussed earlier. |
