| Inhalt | This course explores methods of urban and environmental research through the lens of the archive. As a site of selective public and/or private memory, a physical collection of records, and a metaphor for holding knowledge, the archive is key to the production of urban knowledge. Whereas governmental archives hold power over the narration of history, social movements and civil society organizations have created a range of alternative collections, including oral history and sound records. Historians tend to approach these existing archives as repositories of “primary sources,” yet the materiality of the built environment itself can also serve to foster critical perspectives. At the same time, the rise of the internet has exploded the notion of what constitutes an archive. Our digitally mediated lives now constitute an archive with radically new powers that reshape our physical world. This course trains students in archival and architectural methods for urban research, while reflecting on the ethical and epistemological questions that come with them. The course begins with the premise that archives are not a collection of neutral records of events, but shape difference and otherness with regard to gender, class, ethnicity, sexuality, and ability. The course encourages students to conceptualize urban research as archival production, in collaboration with community and advocacy organizations. Students will learn to combine creative, and critical approaches to research, and gain practical skills that prepare them for individual research projects in urban studies. Research Theme for Fall 2022: Food Ecologies, Corporate Power, and Colonial Urbanization through the Lens of Nestlé. This research theme is jointly developed and shared with the Critical Cartography course taught by Dr. Shourideh Molavi. |
