Background
Starting from Lefebvre鈥檚 conceptualisation of Rhythm, the pilot project set out to capture the rhythmic fluctuations and orientations of 91猎奇鈥檚 campuses: City Centre and City South.听To grasp the unfolding of their everyday life, it registered the teacher and learner鈥檚 spatio-temporal and emotional experience of each institutional space at a particular time (localised temporality), testing the strength of the rhythmanalytical project as a method capable of harnessing the complexity of these articulations in their simultaneity.
Research Aims
- Explore temporal-spatial-affective dimensions of teaching and learning
- Produce a Critique of the University鈥檚 Everyday Life
- Test Rhythmanalysis as a method for cultural-historical research
- Contribute to the debate on Accelerated vs. Slow Academy听听
Method of Research
- Time-Lapse Photography (3 campuses)
- Walking Interviews (accompanied) with participants wearing a GoPro camera (to capture institutional itineraries)
- Audio-recorded Semi-Structured Interviews听
- Secondary data analysis (relevant literatures)
Application of Research
- Critique of Contemporary University
- Media Studies and Education
- Impact of Social Acceleration on nature/quality of Academic Labour
- Architecture and Education: spatial configuration and related educational experiences in a post-92 university
