Addressing broad issue of methodologies in cultural research, this masterclass will be of interest to postgraduates and early career researchers working across a variety of areas including cultural studies, media anthropology and sociology, sociology and anthropology of music and art, cultural and media policy studies, media and communication studies, and television studies.
The masterclass will focus on the use of ethnography in the study of cultural/media production and cultural/media organisations, but it will interest all those using ethnography in their work. Among the themes to be addressed are genre, aesthetics, authorship, value and history/temporalities.
The masterclass will involve an interactive lecture, and discussion of Prof. Born’s work, which participants will be asked to read prior to the masterclass. In the afternoon three participants will be selected to give 15 minute summaries of a paper on their research, and Prof. Born and the participants will give feedback on this work, with particular attention to its methodological framing.
