Theories and Practices of Cross-Disciplinarity

Christine Böhler
Arts and Society, Cross-Disciplinary Strategies
2022W, scientific seminar (SEW), 4.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S04090

Description

Inter-, trans-, and cross-disciplinarity will be introduced with seminal texts, discussions, and practical examples, setting the ground for cross-disciplinary projects and their conceptualisation.

In the seminar, we will look at moments that lead to scientific disciplines and interdisciplinarity. How are facts created? How can we work together with experts? How can artistic methods and strategies be brought into scientific work?

In studio and lab visits, we will experience different disciplinary conditions of labour organisation and collaboration.

Examination Modalities

  1. Attendance (80%),readings and (written) contributions   
  2. Poster presentation with hand-out on one of the lecture topics, which can be chosen freely (students are expected to research further literature on the topic). The poster presentations and hand-out should contain in-depth information about the topic and critically deal with it.
  3. Provide research notes on the material you decide to read for the class.
