| Beschreibung |
The aim of this seminar is to explore theories and practices of walking, especially as they relate to artistic research. Including references to Lucius Burckhardt, Tim Ingold, Walter Benjamin, to the performative walks of 1970’s land artists, to protest marches from the 1960s to today, to Stephanie Springgay and Sarah Truman's Walking Methodologies in a More-than-human World, the course is designed to encourage reflection on walking as a form of creative resistance and social engagement. The course is scheduled in 3 block seminars consisting of deep-reading and discussion sessions and 2-3 hour walks in which pre-selected readings are unpacked and put into practice. The walking sessions are co-hosted by PhD students, invited lecturers and guests. Students are expected to read, reflect, report on texts as well as re-enact and formulate own walking practices. A fourth block seminar for presentations concludes the seminar.
For students with other-abled forms of mobility, alternative modes of walking will be explored. All are welcome. |
