Abstract

Abstract This paper reflects on approaches to conducting “ethical research” on architecture and urban (in)equality in cities in the global south. It focuses on two themes: the formalization of institutional ethics procedures and protocols for conducting such research, and the need to move away from ethical frameworks that emerge from western structures for knowledge production. The paper will question whether ethical principles are universal or specific, and how they affect the possibility of knowledge co-production and its potential to generate pathways to urban equality. These questions arise from the history of contemporary research ethics procedures, which are rooted in the social norms of western modernity that views researchers and research participants as “autonomous individuals.” The paper will suggest that exploring the relation of the individual to the collective and understanding social existence as relationality, is fundamental in formulating an alternative type of ethics methodology.

研究建筑与城市不平等:走向参与伦理

摘要:本文反思了在全球南方城市对建筑和城市平等进行“伦理研究”的方法。它侧重于两个主题:进行此类研究的机构伦理程序和协议的正规化，以及摆脱西方知识生产结构中出现的伦理框架的必要性。这篇论文将质疑伦理原则是普遍的还是具体的，以及它们如何影响知识联合生产的可能性及其产生通往城市平等途径的潜力。这些问题源于当代研究伦理程序的历史，这些程序植根于西方现代性的社会规范，将研究人员和研究参与者视为“自主的个体”。本文将提出，探索个人与集体的关系，并将社会存在理解为关系，是制定另一种伦理学方法论的基础。

期刊介绍： Architecture and Culture, the international award winning, peer-reviewed journal of the Architectural Humanities Research Association, investigates the relationship between architecture and the culture that shapes and is shaped by it. Whether culture is understood extensively, as shared experience of everyday life, or in terms of the rules and habits of different disciplinary practices, Architecture and Culture asks how architecture participates in and engages with it – and how both culture and architecture might be reciprocally transformed. Architecture and Culture publishes exploratory research that is purposively imaginative, rigorously speculative, visually and verbally stimulating. From architects, artists and urban designers, film-makers, animators and poets, from historians of culture and architecture, from geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, from thinkers and writers of all kinds, established and new, it solicits essays, critical reviews, interviews, fictional narratives in both images and words, art and building projects, and design hypotheses. Architecture and Culture aims to promote a conversation between all those who are curious about what architecture might be and what it can do.
