Unsettling History. Methods and Frameworks in Curatorial Research 
This module will introduce participants to different approaches to history and its representations, as well as historiographic methods and philosophies of history, which must inform the emerging field of curatorial research and the practice of staging, contextualizing, and revising history in exhibitions and museum frameworks. It will furthermore introduce students to principles of narrative framing and performance theory, and provide tools for the transformative work on conceptual categories and symbolic codes that come to bear on cultural artifacts, against the backdrop of the increasingly challenged and embattled field of representations of history and memory culture.
The module seeks to establish the tools needed for re-conceptualizing representations of history. External guests will be invited. Teaching language and literature in English

| Lehrform | The module begins with an overview over the paradigms that have informed historiography in the modern era, and proceeds in subsequent sessions to work through the way they are challenged by “histories from below” and decolonial revision and re-narrations of modern history. Further sessions explore knowledge formations derived from histories of resistance, and address the various (anthropological, historical) assumptions that inform various disciplinary frameworks and discourses, and concludes by engaging with genealogies, systems of classification, boundary regimes and origin accounts and their re-writing as fundamental to transformative curatorial research and practice. Exercises in the module include the writing of exhibition texts. This module is closely linked with the module Projekt II |
