Global Art Curating
ECTS: 10. Niveau: Kandidat. Dato: 5.-23. august. Sted: Aarhus
Curation, understood as a conceptual, artistic, discursive, educational and institutional practice, has become an important area not only in contemporary art, where curation has developed in dynamic interplay with artistic practice, but in contemporary culture in general. Increasingly, we understand our lives through curated events, mediated by interfaces, social media and interpretive filters of different kinds which both open up and control our access to our world. This societal development frames the course. Informationsbrochure. Kursusbeskrivelse.

Language Description and Lingvistic Fieldwork
ECTS: 10. Niveau: Kandidat. Dato: 5.-18. august. Sted: Aarhus 
In the first part of the course, students will learn the structure of an exotic language. This language is Shua, a Khoe-Kwadi language (a so-called "click language") spoken in Botswana. The course is not geared towards conversational competence in that language, but in providing insights into its structure and usage. The teacher Bill McGregor has extensive fieldwork experience in Australia and Africa. In the second week, students will learn theoretical, ethical, methodological and ethnographic aspects of linguistic fieldwork. Students will learn how to analyze the structure of an unknown language. The teacher is Eeva Sippola, who did extensive fieldwork in the Phillippines. Classes also involve practical sessions with a speaker of an unfamiliar language. Required pre-course readings will be provided. Kursus udbudt af Institut for Æstetik og Kommunikation. Informationsbrochure. Course description.
