| Omschrijving |
The grounded theory emphasis of this course will lead to a form of enquiry that emerges directly from practice, breaking down normative models of the separation of theory and practice. The course introduces students to the basics of ethnographic methods in the humanities with a specific focus on practice-based research, critical making, and ethical approaches to ethnography.
Students study contemporary theories, including Actor-Network Theory, Post-Colonial Theory, Affordance Theory, and others. During the course, students enter spaces of making to consider and engage in embodied production, reconstruction, perception and reception of art and non-art, so the course involves a number of excursions and substantial hands-on work.
Students realize a final project in the course that will be practice-based in their field of specialization. Students also train in academic data collection and writing skills geared towards ethnographic methods, such as data organization and processing, making field notes, conducting interviews, and project design related to human-subject research ethics. The course is co-taught by two specialists, one in the field of music and one in the visual arts; they will draw from their experience and an interdisciplinary approach towards research across the arts will be adopted. |
