| Course contents : | Do we consider urban anthropology situational or merely situated ? Old question, which need be refreshed with more urban fieldwork, in the present case, in Liège. Then, questions in the field, which may vary from year to year. For example: on urban euphoria and dysphoria, on walking as a mode of urban transportation, etc. As we proceed, methods of urban anthropology are questioned and refreshed as well. |
|
| Course objective : | To reinforce a good command of urban-specific methods of fieldwork, based on Thibaut and Grosjean's book, /L'espace/ /urbain en méthodes/ (only available in French), and a short piece of urban fieldwork. A side effect is sought after: to rediscover the pleasure to be in town. |
