DETAILS:
Sensory ethnography involves observing,
analysing and documenting the ways in which the world is experienced through
sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. Each student will document and analyse
their own sensory experience of three everyday activities with the view to
reveal experiences that often go unnoticed. These auto-ethnographic findings
will be documented on a blog and presented to the class. Students will then
choose one of these activities and observe this experience in five other
people. These observations will form the basis of a multi-sensory research
diary.
