Description
The seminar intends to present the two papers for the specific reading course “Diachronic Perspectives and Methodologies”, that has been arranged for the two interregional PhD students (one at K3, Malmö, and CBIT, Roskilde; the other at CUID, Roskilde, and GPS, Malmö). The course focuses on interdisciplinary methodology, comparing historiographical, ethnographic and “mediagraphic” approaches to the global present and the “present past”. Understanding the current global transformational processes requires inter- and transdisciplinary approaches, ranging from studies of global politics and economy, analyses of media and cultural products and practices and up to explorative interventions by artistic and other means. The objective of the course is to provide knowledge and skills in combining and applying different methods for a diachronic analysis of contemporary material. Also, it aims at providing the two interregional PhDs with the tools to put the current transitional dynamics in a (contemporary) historical perspective, with special focus on cultural and political (democratic) agency. During the seminar, the two PhD students will comment on each other’s work, before opening the debate to the audience for Q&A, comments and feedback.| Period | 17 Dec 2014 |
