Submodule description<\/b>
\nThe objective of the 2nb submodule is to deepen understanding of otherness through reflection on visual social sciencences and consideration of several issues related to the so called visual turn, sensory turn, digital turn and dialogical turn in the social sciences. The submodule will introduce students to visual and digital research methodology and to selected new media and digital storytelling techniques and authoring tools used for producing and publishing sociological and socially relevant representations. Selected representational techniques will be introduced along with the current methodological and epistemological debates (the shift from positivism to post-positivism, from visual to sensory, dialogical and digital turn, from science to activism\/publicly engaged science etc.).<\/p>\n

Students are asked to reflect on the obligatory litterature, visual and hypermedia projects and actively participate in the seminars.<\/p>\n

Final Submodule Grade:<\/b>
\n\u2022 50 % writing a reflection papers
\n\u2022 50 % active participation in the seminars<\/p>\n

Assignment:<\/b>
\nStudents are asked to read obligatory literature (see below) and to write a reflection page (aprox. 500 words) guided by the following guidelines: There are two obligatory articles. I recommend you to start your reading with Ball\u2019s & Gilligan\u2019s article „Visualising Migration and Social Division…“. This is partly editorial introduction article for the visual-migration issue of FQS, partly brief but very useful and accessible overview of visual methodologies, visual research strategies and its possible applications to social research on migration and social division. The second obligatory article is famous Latour\u2019s article on the ways how (scientific) knowledge is usually represented. After reading these two papers browse through the book A Seventh Man (John Berger and Jean Mohr) \u2013 it is classical and still highly evaluated visually based research\/photodocumentary on migration. Your task is to read A Seventh Man through the perspective of the upper mentioned articles and try to reflect mainly on the following issues:
\n– How (if at all) photographs enrich your understanding of the book\u2019s topic?
\n– What are the relations between image and text? What kind of knowledge are photographs able to deliver? What do photographs convey? Can they convey something without being accompanied by words\/text? Are images really worth a thousad words?<\/p>\n

Deadline for submission:\u00a0<\/b>5th November, 10.00 PM (e-mail your reflection page to the tutor)<\/p>\n
