In this international media school tutorial ”Borderlands Stories” we will do Border Studies, that is we will conduct ethnographic research on lives, cultures, and linguistic practices in the borderlands of the Greater Region and Ukraine, and we will do so as participant-observers. Students from the University of the Greater Region (Saarland U, U of Luxembourg, U of Lorraine) and Petro-Mohyla Black Sea National University in Mykolaiv collaborate in joint scientific and cultural studies research to work on border stories, issues of languages and identities in border areas, and experiences of living in the borderlands. Students will be able to conduct individual or joint projects (in small groups of 3-4 participants from both countries) with the support of a group of teachers, media experts and consultants. The focus of students’ projects should address the problems of peripheral places, border areas and border cultures whose inhabitants ”live the border” and have constructed border identities. The result of this ethnographic research will be short creative media products created by the participants, which will be published on a joint website.
This class should be taken in combination with Prof. Fellner’s HS ”Cultural Encounters in Europe.”
