Self Awareness
This module aims at understanding ideas of “self” and
“other” as constructs, developed under special historical, social,
political and economic circumstances and on the basis of different
religious beliefs as well as philosophical thoughts. Asian and
European constructs of self, society and identities – individual,
collective, gender and national – will be analysed. The influence of
historical images of the “other” and the impact of these images on
today’s views of different cultures will be deconstructed and
stereotypes made visible.
