Kommentare/ Inhalte: As preparation for the compilation of the MA thesis in the Indonesian track we have allocated 3 credit points in the programme for students to write an extended paper of 5-7,000 words in each semester on a topic of their choice. During the summer semester we propose that students write and train themselves in constructing a literature review (winter semester), which will help to explore the topic of your thesis, or a research proposal (summer semester), a type of academic paper that is required whenever you will apply for funding, an internship or another type of programme. In this module we will supervise the construction and compiling of such research proposals so that the students know what is expected of them. We will convene in two-weekly intervals to talk about what such writing entails, how to formulate research questions, construct an argument, make a time schedule and to start compiling the proposal. Biodata: Jan van der Putten is Professor Austronesistik in the Department of Southeast Asia (Asien-Afrika-Institut) at the University of Hamburg where he teaches on Southeast Asian literatures and cultures. Traditional Malay writings is one of his main research projects affiliated with the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC) in Hamburg. In general, his research explores the meaning of traditional and popular Malay texts and their distribution among peoples and exchange between cultures.
