Course detail
FaVU-3MVV1Acad. year: 2024/2025
In this course, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of social science and humanities research methodologies through thematic lectures, reading texts, and engaging in joint discussions about them, alongside guest speakers from related areas of artistic research. The course content is designed with an emphasis on both the performativity of social science research and the research-based practices in contemporary art, which often borrow, appropriate, and transform certain (especially qualitative) techniques from social science methodologies (similar to what happens in design) to suit their needs. Contemporary art is also closely connected with social anthropology and the humanities through a shared interest in modes of being that are in some way at odds with dominant paradigms—from postcolonial others (so-called ethnographic turns) to post-human/post-natural agencies. Throughout the course, students will not simply be introduced to a list of methods but will be inspired to cultivate their own research sensitivity to the processual, indeterminate, and complex nature of social phenomena, as well as to develop broader skills in intersectional theorization and contemporary reflection. Such sensitivity and reflexivity, in turn, open pathways to the possibilities of informed methodological hybridization or non-standard approaches that can be utilized in research as an artistic strategy.
