Cíle předmětu
While in humanities Said’s ‘Orientalism’ (1978) has become iconical and has helped influence minds on a larger scale, blunt orientalising stereotypes are invariably used as codes in cinema, scientific derivates etc. In the archaeological practice long-standing visual stereotypes play not only a role initially, in the self-recruiting’ of candidates of SW-Asian archaeology. The stereotype also pounces back on the practicing excavator later - either as certain attitudes displayed/faced during work, or as the outright expectation, that quickly limits the choices of researchers trying to reaching out to the general public. In the course the students will be encouraged to make their visions of the ‘Near East’ explicit, before actually entering the new cultural ambient (e.g. as members of archaeological projects). They will acquire the ability to see & adequately name and avoid orientalising stereotypes in their dealings.

Výukové metody
Teaching technique: direct-reflexive teacher/student dialogue. In the course the students will be trained to recognize inter-relations beyond the isolated ethnographic fact. In-class discussions will be favoured to develop the skill to approach ethnological issues with proper terminology. At intervals certain ‘teaching mile stones’ will be entrenched by students’ own presentations. Extra-focus on the analysis of visual materials (paintings, photos, film etc.)
Metody hodnocení
Assessment based on the cross-sum of: presence & communication; proficiency in making written notes; discussion input; a presentation; oral final exam. Final exam: an analysis of selected Orientalist paintings & colonial photography.
