The hybrid classes that created most problems have been improved. Instead of full day hybrid class, we introduced hybrid beginning and wrap up in the days of intensive teaching. This worked well.

The students made good use of the course. They still want more teaching on netnography, though we have already increased hours for that. We plan to increase teaching on the tools even more in the future.

Certain essays were too thin in the main part, since the requirement of word count includes appendices as well. Some student added their interviews transcribed, but they have not integrated their material into their essays well enough.

Mer om vurdering

A 7.500 words essay (about 20 pages) based on online research (netnography) of a selected community. One may pick a community from one’s home country. A description of the community and an argument which proves that the community is a diasporic or a displaced one must be provided. An essay must be grounded in interviews and detailed dance descriptions. One must use the approaches, methods, types of sources, concepts, and so on presented by the teachers during the course. Analysis and discussion must be supported by appropriate readings, explicitly quoting a minimum of ten texts, some of which must be from the reading list. Appendices (e.g. interview transcriptions, analysis tables) are included in the word count and must be consistently referred to in the main text.

Faglig innhold

The module "Dance, displacement, diaspora I" which is run in parallel with "Dance, displacement, diaspora II" at the University of Szeged is envisaged as the contextual frame to interrogate issues of migration and heritage. This is an innovative part of Choreomundus 2020-2025 compared to Choreomundus 2012-2018 and 2017-2021. Registered separately in two partner universities for each group of students the course will be organised jointly for both groups sharing a virtual classroom and taught by all Choreomundus partner universities as well as Associated Partners. Our rationale for the course is the following: displaced people cannot take tangible heritage with themselves, they are forced to leave their homes, land etc. behind them. Yet wherever people move, either in refugee camps or in diaspora organisations, they find a way to re-invigorate their intangible heritage, as do those displaced and then returned to homeland. Memories, traditions, songs and dances do, however, travel, maintaining links to home and country of origin. In this new course we will focus on a range of case studies to address dancing communities in camps for displaced people, in diaspora or reconstituted localities. Moreover, the course problematises the ways in which contemporary performances of earlier dance forms are enacted and examines their contemporary transmission within global diasporas, thus questioning how heritage is continuously recreated

As part of Choreomundus the course had increased jointness degree with SZTE. We invited many guest lecturers and achieved high diversity in the course. All classes were hybrid, most of them recorded. This will help to create and develop online learning platform in the future. We also plan to increase the part of teaching netnography in the future.

The students noted some technical difficulties in the hybrid form. We are looking for measures to solve these problems in the future. The essays demonstrated high achievement of learning outcomes. In addition, some students expected to have more teaching on netnography.

Students saw value in practical learning experience teaching each other dance forms in relation to diasporic experience.

- 50 %: oral which may include practical presentation - 50 %: essay 4.000 words (about 12 pages). Students are given a choice between an empirical essay based on actual fieldwork OR a theoretical/methodological essay based on online research. BOTH must be grounded in movement analysis. - Both parts must be passed the same semester. Individual parts are not graded, only an overall grade is provided. For the course to be passed, both exam parts have to be delivered on a level that is equivalent to passing grade. Resit of the exam must include both parts again.
