Students will gain insight and opportunities to collaborate in different areas of an ongoing arts-based research project ZOZAN (FWF PEEK program). Theoretically, the project is situated in the cross-sectional area of visual anthropology, arts-based research and mobility research. The lecture seminar therefore offers an insight into theoretical approaches and in practice-relevant application and implementation of these approaches.
Starting point are two extensive multimedia documentations on Kurdish mobilities and their transformations: Collection of the artist Mehmet Emir and the social anthropologist Werner Finke realized between 1968 and 2015 in Southeast Anatolian provinces; about 25,000 slides, audio recordings and documentary films each. These two multimedia documentaries oscillate between ethnographic documentation and art production; they capture socio-political and economic transformations in local, regional, and transnational spaces. In addition to the digitization and open access availability of these collections of visual culture, the project will conduct art-based workshops to discuss appropriate forms of cultural heritage representation that will eventually result in exhibitions, publications, and online presentations.
Teaching Objectives
Three levels of teaching in the course
A: Theoretical approaches (in face-to-face classes and with short presentations of required literature by students): Different approaches to visual anthropology (e.g. Morphy and Banks 1999), "critical anthropology of art" (e.g. Marcus and Myers 1995), "pictorial turn" (Mitchell 2018), "visual studies" as a new (trans)discipline?, etc.
Critical approaches of the last two decades are discussed in individual selected topics (including Banks 2001; Edwards 2006; Morphy/Perkins 2006; Pink 2006; Sansi 2015).
B: Insights into working methods in the ongoing research project (insights into the working methods of experts in the digitization of visual material, discursive mediation of the participatory art projects together with artists).
Multimedia materials and existing research data are partly in English - teaching language is therefore German and English.
C: Based on existing empirical materials already collected in the course of the research project ZOZAN (interviews, visual documentations and multimedia workshop documentations), methods of analysis will be applied in small groups and short texts will be written.Methods
Mix of frontal teaching, presentation by students, at least one guest lecture, on the basis of multimedia material the methodological tools of KSA will be applied exemplarily.
