Research methods in humanities
Karin Reisinger
Art x Science School for Transformation, Art x Science School for Transformation
2025W, Practical Exercises (UE), 2.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S05771
Description
The course focuses on the question of HOW we work with research findings in the transdisciplinary context of transformations. It introduces and discusses sets of tools, scientific devices and methods which can be applied to various materials and questions.
Thus, we will work with findings from the field trips (START WEEKS), and compose and apply approaches of how to work with these findings to experiment with them – from listening to diffraction, and from mapping to contextualization. In preparation for that, we will design and narrow down research questions and problems as starting points for research processes in which we co-produce knowledge. The process will allow for testing, modifying and comparing the different approaches, tools and methods.
Comments
The dates list includes many dates which are held together with the course of the Start Weeks. For students who take the methods course but not the Start Weeks, individual solutions will be discussed on October 15. In the meantime, don't hesitate to contact the course teacher with any questions: karin.reisinger@akbild.ac.at
