Fridays, 10:00-12:00 | ETH Zürich, HCI D 4
This seminar explores innovative and qualitative methodologies that go beyond traditional approaches in landscape and urban research. By emphasizing mobile, embodied, participatory, and artistic methods, we transcend disciplinary boundaries and tackle pressing themes such as pluriversal contact zones, more-than-human landscapes, and critical plant studies. The « more-than » in the course title reflects our commitment to exploring and expanding emergent methodologies, while also questioning and troubling them as we engage with complex, contested, and multi-layered issues. The ultimate objective is for participants to delve into these pioneering methodologies and themes, contextualize them through key texts, and develop their own unique research approaches.
