This workshop welcomes potential
participants of all disciplinary backgrounds to find out about the TECHNE
conflux ‘Listening: Field, Voice, Body’. With an organisational team that
brings together experts in sound art, movement, and cultural geography, the
project involves a series of workshops throughout the 2018-19 academic year
that will build towards a GeoHumanities Summer School in Cornwall in summer
2019. This introductory session invites participants to engage with the
dimensions of listening that animate the project, and to begin to explore their
potential for expanding their own research and practice. Participants will be
invited to experiment and play with sensing and listening devices to get a feel
for a range of of listening practices and how these might inspire research. In
addition, project leaders will introduce the Summer School and its workshop
events, and give an outline of the school’s fascinating field site of the GCHQ
Listening Station in Bude, Cornwall. The workshop will also be an opportunity
to talk with project leaders and other potential participants - about the
school, about your research, and about the possibilities listening practices
might hold for your investigations. After the workshop, participants will be
invited to write to the project leaders with short expressions of interest,
from which 16 participants will be selected for the 2019 Listening summer
school.
