Description
pre:justice,
reflxions on history and use of places and landscape
In this course, we explore how social and structural conditions shape places and landscapes. Our specific focus is on Schwarzau am Steinfeld, where the former Schwarzau Palace now houses Austria’s only women’s prison. Through excursions, we will examine both the town and the institution. The aim of the course is to develop a sensitive understanding of Schwarzau and to consider how the inmates — a marginalized group — can be provided with forms of expression and visibility.
