African Verbal and Visual Arts: Languages, Literatures, Media and Art (M.A.)
The Master’s programme African Verbal and Visual Arts (AVVA) is conceptualized as a continuation and immersion of the specialization fields offered in the Bachelor Programme African Visual and Verbal Arts (Languages, Literatures, Media and Art) at the University of Bayreuth. These are African Linguistics, Swahili Studies, Literatures in African Languages, and Media/Arts and Curational Studies in Africa.
In addition to gaining knowledge in African languages and linguistics, the programme now focuses on a deeper understanding of conditions and norms of language(s) in use; also in its mediated forms and social contexts. Hence, it is the primary goal of this programme to convey an enhanced comprehension of culturally encoded knowledge in its various applications and expressions in Africa.
Beside the focus on language, the programme also offers an intense engagement with theories and methodologies of literature, media, art and curatorial studies that further enriches the knowledge of various cultural verbal and visual expressions in Africa.
