Breakdown and repair: Exercises in broken world thinking (Kolloquium)

Termin:
14-täglich | Donnerstag | 14:00 - 17:30 | 15.10.2020 - 28.01.2021 | HMS 139

Inhalt: This course familiarizes students with ‘broken world thinking’ as Steven J. Jackson (2014) has proposed with regard to a technologically saturated world. Instead of stability and rigidity, broken world thinking assumes ‘an always-almost-falling-apart world’ (p. 222). It suggests that technologies and their sociotechnical infrastructures are fragile goods, always about to disintegrate. What keeps them from dissolving is the incessant work of maintenance and repair. Students will get acquainted with some of the key papers in the area of repair studies. Further, they will be guided to work with a case. Jackson, S. J. (2014) ‘Rethinking repair’, in T. Gillespie, P.J. Boczkowski and K.A. Foot (eds.)

Researching from Below (Kolloquium)

Dozent/in: Götz Bachmann, Simon Farid

Inhalt: This is an art course - a hands-on introduction to experimental artistic research. Digital media and urban space will provide us with sites of action. This course looks at certain artistic practices as idiosyncratic approaches to researching, operating from a position of weakness. We will be looking at different tactical approaches to creativity, subversion and dissent, hopefully understanding these methods as useful practices beyond fine art. We will question whether the context and position of the researcher can justify alternative ethical frameworks and approaches, looking at tactics of subversion and deception, covertness and anonymity, obfuscation and hiding in plain sight. Each session will be based around two artworks, one by a professional artstar and one by a semi-amateur friend of ours. Through this range of professionalism, alongside some contextualising within outsider art discourse, this course should serve as introduction to exciting, semi-marginal art practices and provide students with skills which will be applicable whether their future intensions lie within the arts or elsewhere. Students will be tasked with producing an art project or piece of idiosyncratic research as a part of the final assessment. The course is jointly hosted by an artist (Simon Farid) and an ethnographer (Götz Bachmann).
