Abstract

Abstract This paper discusses Architectural History and Theory at the Graduate School of Architecture, University of Johannesburg in 2019. The curriculum is centered on a series of conversations as the means to generate forms of engagement for a plurality of voices, contested views and dialogic encounters, as a way of working toward an alternative institutional imaginary. The focus on conversation and dialogue aims to create a space for slow and shared scholarship, to become a manifestation of spatial resistance to the imperatives of the neoliberal university and global economies of higher education. This paper discusses some of the key conceptual and practical moves undertaken in the development of a new history and theory course through examples of student work. The paper points to inclusive and reflexive pedagogical methods and modes of collaboration as central to resistance, and as the means that enable generative and supportive networks across geographic and institutional boundaries.

对话室:约翰内斯堡GSA建筑历史和理论的关键对话

摘要本文讨论了2019年约翰内斯堡大学建筑研究生院的建筑历史与理论。课程以一系列对话为中心，作为为多种声音、有争议的观点和对话遭遇创造参与形式的手段，作为一种努力实现另一种制度想象的方式。对对话和对话的关注旨在为缓慢和共享的学术创造一个空间，成为对新自由主义大学和全球高等教育经济必要性的空间阻力的表现。本文通过学生工作的例子，讨论了在开发一门新的历史与理论课程过程中所采取的一些关键的概念和实践行动。该论文指出，包容性和反射性的教学方法和合作模式是抵抗的核心，也是跨越地理和制度界限建立生成性和支持性网络的手段。

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.
