Description
Bade taste and good music.
The Seminar will take a closer look at the work of Antoine Hennion, a french sociologist who has been working e.g. on taste, music, drug users and advertising und who developed a sociology of attachment that attempts to describe ‘subject-networks’: „Instead of focusing on capacities inherent in a subject, this approach attends instead to the tactics and techniques which make possible the emergence of a subject as it enters a ‘dispositif’.“ (Hennion, 1999) This will allow the investigation of multiple „mediators“ that perform a central role within ANT, the so-called Actors-Network-Theory.
Examination Modalities
Exploring and representing projects in small groups; 80% attendance; active collaboration in form of research and presentations, reading the literature and preparation of introductory notes.
