Von den Rändern (her), damit neue Stimmen hörbar werden (können), in ihrem eigenen Namen. Denn Queersein ist mehr als nur eine andere Einstellung zu Körper und Sexualität, «Queerness» ist so viel wie in anderen, neuen Kategorien denken, handeln, leben. Als eine Bereitschaft, Neues zu erleben und auszuprobieren, aber auch Grenzen zu überschreiten - die eigenen, die gesellschaftlich und kulturell gesetzten. Davon erzählt dieser Podcast, von und mit Menschen zwischen Buenos Aires und Zürich, zwischen Dubai und Berlin. Von Yamila Sofia Pita, Andrea Schnyder, Febe Tognina, Chiara Herold, Marion Hischier, Angela Wohleser, Derya Bozat, Dominique Bitschnau, Charlotte Naab, Saskia Kircali, Henrik von Dewitz, Uta Richter, Meret Wälti. Dieser vielstimmige Podcast ist im Rahmen der Winterschool «Queering Podcast» am Institut für Sozialanthropologie der Universität Bern entstanden.

Es geht ums gute Erzählen, um eingängige, spannende Stories, um Einblicke in neue Welten. Das Medium Podcast bietet sich gerade in seiner Intimität dazu an, Geschichten hörbar zu machen, die sich ausserhalb der Norm befinden und es nicht in die grossen Medien schaffen. Doch was braucht es, damit „andere“ Erzählungen artikulierbar werden? Und wie können Menschen, deren Stimmen bisher wenig Gehör fanden, porträtiert werden, ohne dass sie dabei erneut zu den „Anderen“ gemacht werden? Wie lassen sich die Grenzen zwischen dem „Eigenen“ und dem scheinbar „Anderen“ mittels Podcast «queeren» und verschieben?

The latter is invested in artistic and curatorial strategies which proactively tackle art’s complicity with gentrification. 2017-2019, the program constituted the thematic playing field of the Sommerakademie Paul Klee in Bern. Most recently, REALTY played a key role in the STATISTA initiative on Alexanderplatz Berlin, where the emphasis has been on artists building durable infrastructures that redistribute financial and cultural capital – this among constituencies beyond artists alone. Though the seminar will foreground the development of the REALTY program, in light of its tussles with organizers, policymakers and the real estate sector, it will also attempt to map the field of Contemporary Art at large. Which terminologies, methodologies, and limits of the field are reflected here, which ones can be hoped to critiqued and superseded?

During the workshop participants will learn what distinguishes ethnography from other forms of academic and nonfiction representation. The technique of “Weaving the World,” the seamless linkage of ethnographic description to social analysis will be presented. Participants will be asked to read examples from the work of ethnographers who have, in various ways have attempted to use this technique to evoke social worlds through the evocation of space/place, character, and dialogue. These are strategies that ethnographic writers can use to ensure that the ethnographic writers can use to ensure that readers come to know a people who live in a particular place.

Gaining an overview over the long history of ethnographic drawing in anthropology we will also approach the medium of drawing as ethnographic source. Through our own drawing practice we will try out in this course what Tim Ingold means, when he suggest to follow the materials, to learn the movements and to draw the lines. On the basis of our own and other anthropologist’s drawings we will debate whether it is wise or not to restrict the aim of ethnographic drawing to a method-ology of ‘seeing’ and dismiss artistic ambitions as Andrew Causey instructs us to do. Employing drawing as field research method, we will compare our own visual field notes with those of the early pioneers and the contemporary community of ethnographic drawers, such as Manuel João Ramos.

Neben der praktischen Arbeit mit Mikrofonen und Tonaufnahmegeräten nimmt das kritische Hören und Beurteilen des selbst aufgenommenen Materials sowie von Beispielen aus den Bereichen der sonic ethnography, akusmatischen Komposition und Filmtongestaltung breiten Raum ein. Vorkenntnisse in Tonaufnahmetechnik sind ein Vorteil, aber nicht erforderlich. Der Kurs richtet sich vor allem an Studierende, die Field Recording in ihrer eigenen Feldarbeit oder Kunstpraxis einsetzen möchten.

Nach einer kurzen Einführung in die Semiotik des Films werden unterschiedliche Genres und formale Herangehensweisen des Dokumentarfilms untersucht und Fragen zur Bildkomposition und der Spannung zwischen dem Bildinhalt und dem was außerhalb des Bildes liegt analysiert. Zu jedem Thema gibt es kurze film-praktische Aufgaben, die gemeinsam gesichtet und analysiert werden.

Single Shot Cinema is a filming method that re-interprets film language based on the technical developments and possibilities of filmmaking in the digital age. What once only was possible with cranes and the Steadicam is now accessible to everybody. Students will learn the film language based on new technologies and discover how to block actions and characters in a scene and how to choreograph one single shot, using smooth and flexible camera movements that express the drama, emotion, and vision of the director. An important tool will be the ORBIT camera rig, an invention of the professor especially made for the Single Shot Cinema methodology.
