Accepted Paper:
Supplements and leftovers of academic life: rethinking materiality and materials
Tenno Teidearu
(Estonian National Museum_University of Tartu)
As a young ethnologist and a researcher of material culture, I am interested in cultural affordances of materiality and materials, practices of repair, and the intersection of anthropology and art.
Paper long abstract:
This workshop is inspiring because of its hands-on approach to materiality, which has great potential for challenging and inspiring academic thinking. I am interested in rethinking materiality and materials in a DIY project. Tangible interaction with things may open up new ways of understanding their meanings and significance.
Some initial questions:
How can art and anthropology (or ethnology) supplement each other?
What is arts-based research?
What new ways of thinking making/crafting can provide or afford?
How to understand materials and their affordances?
What cultural meanings properties of materials have?
