  • Introduction

    Masketeater er læren om en teaterform der mennesket rent fysisk tar i bruk eller tar på seg en maske, og gir denne liv gjennom sitt spill. Masken integreres ofte i vanlig teater. Fordypning i maskespill gir grunnleggende kunnskaper om å produsere teatermasker og om hvordan masker kan brukes og integreres i ulike typer dramafaglig arbeid. Sentralt i studiet står masken i europeisk teater og det groteske teateret/Commedia dell- Arte.

    Emnet er 100 prosent faglig overlapp med emne ZDT3 Drama og teaterkommunikasjon - Maskespill. Ved ledig kapasitet kan emnet kan tilbys som enkeltemneopptak.

  • Required preliminary courses

    Bestått DT1000 Drama og teaterkommunikasjon og DT2000 Dramaturgi eller tilsvarende.

    Grading Scale

    According to the ECTS grading scale, with A-E as pass grades, and F as fail grade.

    New or postponed examination

    Students who fail their examination, or who pass but wish to improve their grade, may sit ordinary examinations in the following term. This also applies for students with valid absence.

    For further information see: Regulations relating to studies and examination at OsloMet.

  • Teaching and learning methods

    Emnet er prosessorientert og bygger på studentens egenaktivitet både praktisk og teoretisk. En stor del av opplæringen vil bestå av praktisk arbeid med maskeproduksjon og spill. Dette inkluderer så vel det å leke og eksperimentere med masker som å oppleve og skape masketeater.

    Ulike masker krever ulik spillestil. Det vil legges til rette for kontinuerlig trening i spill med ulike typer masker.

    Studentene vil få individuell og gruppevis veiledning i både å lage masker som er spillbare og å spille med ulike masker. Instruksjon av medstudenters maskespill er også en nødvendig arbeidsform.

    Det benyttes ulike arbeids- og dokumentasjonsformer i studiet. Arbeidet vil hovedsakelig foregå i form av verksted (workshops) og seminar, med selvstendig drøfting og utprøving av ideer. Forelesninger og innlegg knyttes til praktisk arbeid og teoristoff. Praktiske øvelser knyttes til utvikling av eget uttrykk/skuespillertrening og til perfeksjonering i bruk av ulike metoder med teatermasker.

    Hvis emnet har engelsktalende studenter foregår undervisningen på engelsk.

  • Course requirements

    Introduction

    Power, Politics and Religion in South America is a 30 ETCS course taught during one semester in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in a joint venture between Oslo Metropolitan University and Kulturstudier (Culture Studies), an independent Oslo-based enterprise that offers international academic courses at study centers in Vietnam, Nepal, Ghana, Argentina and Costa Rica. Kulturstudier’s university partner in Buenos Aires is Universidad Nacional de San Martín (UNSM), and a limited number of study places are awarded to Argentinian students. The semester starts with an initial 7 weeks’ self-study period; followed by 10 weeks of teaching at UNSM in Buenos Aires; and concludes with a 3-week exam writing period.

    The course is taught through an interdisciplinary approach incorporating elements of history, political science, political economy, geography, social anthropology and cultural studies, with the objective of giving students an understanding of key issues related to power, politics and religion in South America. To ensure in-depth knowledge and learning - while simultaneously reflecting the diversity of the region - the course has a particular focus on three select countries: Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia.

  • Assessment

    Learning outcomes

    Knowledge

    The student

    • has attained broad knowledge about the central themes, perspectives and theories in study of the region, as it relates to power, politics, religion.
    • is acquainted with the history of South American studies, and its chief characteristics
    • is familiar with key research frontiers related to central topicalities of the region
    • knows how to identify, and become updated on, emerging knowledge in the study of South America

    Skills

    The student

    • can use knowledge about power, politics and religion in South America for both academic and professional purposes
    • can reflect critically about their own way of attaining and employing knowledge about power, politics, religion
    • knows how to find, assess and reference knowledge when exploring related academic questions and problem statements.

    General competence

    The student

    • can plan and execute work requirements that span varied tasks across time, alone and in a group
    • can present and disseminate academic knowledge in written, oral and/or other forms
    • is capable of exchanging knowledge and perspectives with others in related fields
    • is aware of ethical challenges applicable to related fields of study
  • Grading scale

    Mandatory work requirements

    1. Introductory self-study paper

    By the end of the initial 7-weeks’ self-study period, the student must submit an introductory paper of 1,800 words (+/- 10%), in English, through OsloMet’s accredited learning platform, on a given topic and before a given deadline. Students are expected to work individually and independently throughout the self-study period but may forward questions to the assigned seminar teacher.

    The paper will be assessed within two weeks of submission: It is graded ‘pass’ or ’fail’, and the student receives written or oral feedback from the seminar teacher. If the paper is not submitted in due time, or is graded ‘fail’, the student may re-submit the paper once, according to instruction of the seminar teacher. If the requirement remains unmet, the student will not be allowed to sit exam.

    The rationale for this mandatory activity is to ensure that students begin their study of the course geography and thematic well in advance of start-up in Argentina.

    2. Attending lectures, seminars/joint activities, and group work meetings

    The student must attend at least 80% of lectures, 80% of seminars/joint activities, and 80% of group work meetings. A student who fails any of the attendance requirements but does have legitimate grounds for such failure - as documented by medical statement - may request an additional assignment: a paper of 2,000 words, on a title given by the teacher, to be submitted within 72 hours of issue. Students attending less than 60% in either of the above-mentioned activities, automatically lose the right to sit exam, no matter the legitimacy of absence.

    The purpose of attendance requirement is to ensure that students engage actively with curriculum and learning activities throughout the course and share insights and reflections with each other. Self-study cannot substitute for the imparting of knowledge and learning through lectures and seminars/joint activity; group-based and student-led learning is of particular importance.

  • Examiners

    Mode of assessment

    1. Written group paper: A paper of 4,500 words (+/- 10 %), in English, written collaboratively in groups of 4-5 members during the course period in Argentina. Each group choose their own problem statement but it must relate perspectives from the syllabus to empirical cases from the region, and it must be accepted by the course teacher upfront. A seminar teacher offers supervision throughout the group’s research- and writing process. The paper shall be submitted electronically in OsloMet’s examination platform by a given deadline, by the end of the course period in Argentina.

    2. Individual written home exam: A paper of 4,500 words (+/- 10 %), in English, on a given topic. The topic is issued when the course program in Argentina is concluded, and the paper must be submitted within the subsequent three weeks.

    Final assessment

    The student will be awarded a composite grade where the grade of the group paper counts 40% and the individual exam counts 60% of the final grade. Both exams must be passed in order for the student to be awarded a final grade. If a student does not pass one of the exams, only the failed exam shall be re-taken.
