Ways of Knowing (Group 2) (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Camilla Mary Cassidy, Ian McManus

Termin:
wöchentlich | Donnerstag | 10:00 - 12:00 | 17.10.2019 - 30.01.2020 | C 40.164 Seminarraum

Inhalt: This course will explore ordinary objects and, by putting them through a series of ‘actions’ or methods, cumulatively reveal apparently simple, singular things in multiple perspectives. The objects chosen – everyday things, not limited to single domains – will provoke questions relating to phases of their ‘lifecycles’ (design and manufacture; use and consumption; storytelling and image making). These questions will require methods to investigate them. Ultimately these methodologically informed investigations will require appropriate forms for their communication. So, essentially, our process will be shaped like this: object --> question --> method --> communication By following these steps through each stage of the seminar, we will arrive at a completer understanding of what makes a method fit for its function. We will do this by analysing revealing examples and by actively experimenting with different ‘ways of knowing’. Finally, we will attempt a synthesis of these varied perspectives and consider the outcomes of (inevitably messy, occasionally frustrating) research projects which will have ranged widely in methodologies typically associated with diverse disciplines. The process will be student driven in order to allow the navigation of the course – and the “methods” it will entail – in response to each participant’s burgeoning interests. The classes are structured to provide you with starting points and frameworks for individualised, practical investigations, conducted with the support of a group. The assessment will be integrated throughout the course, with the completion of a shared portfolio of outputs (devised in groups but completed and assessed individually), allowing students to choose in which facets of the project they will lead, and in which they will take a more supportive role. The result will combine breadth (through participation in the group’s shared project exploring their object from many points of view) and depth (in the completion of three more developed outputs within this framework). Throughout, this process will be accompanied by individual reflective research diaries in which to make sense of what goes well, what not so well, and how you would amend your method in the future based on your experience. Things to consider: - This course relies on interactive investigation and requires commitment and engagement - Guidance is available throughout, both in the classroom and beyond. Key outcomes: a) Formulating illuminating questions b) Identifying and understanding means of investigation c) Understanding the limitations and opportunities of different methods d) A trial run exploring how a complex, interconnected set of diverse actions can combine to illuminate a single object of research from multiple perspectives. e) A willingness and flexibility to attempt things which are difficult and unfamiliar, in the knowledge that even setbacks can be instructive if encountered in the right way. f) The beginning of an idea of wider landscapes of disciplinary method.
