How might ethnographic practice be enriched by artistic practice and vice versa? What kinds of texts could be produced from a combination of ethnographic research and artistic experimentalism? In this laboratory course, students develop experimental modes of conducting ethnographic research and producing ethnographic accounts of their field experiences. Students will engage with the theoretical perspectives on this emerging intersection while conducting field-based projects that transcend the traditional boundaries of ethnographic practice, using innovative modes of data gathering, encoding and representation – e.g., photography, digital video, audio recording, exposition, music, prose poetry, visual arts and performance.
