Researching Silence: Landscapes and Archives
Munira Khayyat is a Clinical Associate Professor of Anthropology at New York University.
About
As researchers we are often blinded by our objects of knowledge, which instead of revealing, also obscure what we are looking for. This talk examines the challenge of chasing elusive themes within overdetermined spaces and showcases a few creative multidisciplinary research methods innovated to capture elusive content. The talk will range across anthropology, literature and photography, landscapes and archives.
