In this content course we will deal with media in their cultural context, e.g. films, newspapers, music, literature, etc.
We will both think about how the media are connected to their cultural environment and try to recognize differences between media in Japan and Germany in relation to the national culture.
When designing the content of the course, the various interests of the course participants can be taken into account. At the end of the semester, all course participants should give presentations on a topic of their choice that is related to the course topic “Media”.
Since there is no final examination, regular attendance and active participation in the course as well as a convincing presentation are the basis for the final grading.
Basic skills in using the German language are required to take part in this course. Course participants should therefore at least have successfully completed the G3 course.
NOTE: Part of the course is held online together with Japanese Studies students at the University of Trier.
