UiO sin egen emnebeskrivelse — læringsutbytte, innhold og vurderingsform.
Promises of infrastructure development, as well as conflicts over the construction, functioning, and decay of infrastructure, are at the forefront of political debates across the globe. In anthropology, too, recent years have seen a proliferation of ethnographic studies of infrastructure. Here, infrastructure is often a lens to address broader issues: social relations; forms of political or discursive power; categories and standardizations; ontological transformations; the social imaginaries of material development projects; relations between built and non-built environments; and anthropogenic climate change.
Introducing this rapidly growing literature, this course explores what infrastructure is, and what infrastructure does - and what the study of infrastructure can contribute to anthropological knowledge. Topics include: the promise of infrastructure; how infrastructure can broaden our understanding of the political; what happens when infrastructure do not work, remain unfinished, or fail; how infrastructure challenges or supports social inequalities and discriminations; and how alternative infrastructure can be imagined.
Drawing on a range of ethnographic case studies, the overarching aim is to advance our capacity to interpret existing materialities and structures, including their failures and unintended consequences; as well as to gain a solid understanding of some of the key theories and analytical approaches that inform this field of study as well as their methodological and ethical implications. Some questions that frame our inquiry include:
Knowledge
Skills
General competence
Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.
If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures.
Multi-modal essay and an adjusting oral exam of approximately 20 minutes.
The essay must be minimum 1350 words and maximum 1650 words (including cover page and foot- or endnotes), analysing an infrastructure of your choosing in an anthropological perspective. The essay must engage with at least three key readings from the course syllabus, and feature at least three non-textual components (images, videos, drawings, soundbites, etc.).
The oral examination will only be held if the essay receives a passing grade.
The grade for the essay is a provisional grade. The examiners will inform you of the provisional grade and give an explanation for it when you present yourself for the oral exam.
Your performance in the oral exam may be used to adjust the final grade. The entire grading scale may be used for the final grade, but the grade will most commonly either remain unchanged or be adjusted by one grade up or down. You will receive your final grade and explanation of the grade immediately after the oral exam.
Essay: All support material is allowed. When using AI, you must explain and be transparent about its use: read more about the guidelines for AI and exams at How to use AI as a student - University of Oslo.

It is possible to take the exam up to 3 times. If you withdraw from the exam after the deadline or during the exam, this will be counted as an examination attempt.
Grades are awarded on a scale from A to F, where A is the best grade and F is a fail. Read more about the grading system.
