Discussion of Fieldwork readings + other assignments

Review of in-progress work / Fieldwork experiments by Fellows

General framework for the seminar: Fieldwork looks at relationships between existing understandings and practices of fieldwork in architecture, design, urbanism and landscape studies, and the colonial-ethnographic lineage and contemporary theorizations of fieldwork within cultural anthropology in particular. It is concerned with exploring how one disciplinary framework might challenge, activate or extend an awareness and understanding of the boundaries, taboos, prejudices, predilections and (unrealized/hidden) potential existing in another.
