5. Objectives and program<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a time for the rediscovery of territories, its landscapes and heritage resources, both tangible and intangible. It is also a time of production and dissemination, sometimes massive and chaotic, of audiovisual material related to territories. However, there are many misconceptions on the loose about the what could really mean documenting the real using audiovisual media. We therefore need to reflect, with both depth and patience, upon a series of crucial aspects: what areas of knowledge are useful for documenting territories? which sensory aspects may be related to an enhanced experience of a place? What can and should be given back to the documented communities? How to escape immediate impressions and to capture in innovative ways the deep and subtle meanings of the cultural magma of a territory: its archaisms, changes, contaminations, contradictions, endogenous and exogenous social representations?<\/p>\n

This 7-day intensive course offers a critical sharing of some of the methodologies and work practices developed since 2006 by Binaural\/Nodar in the Gralheira mountain range (Center Portugal), based on a direct and continuous contact with rural communities and in an exploratory approach in terms of concepts, meanings and used media. The following are some of the issues to be addressed:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The sense of place: philosophy and aesthetics of landscape. Discussion of authors and works.
\n\u2022 History, ethnography, anthropology and art as tools for multidisciplinary work. Discussion of authors and works.
\n\u2022 The ethics of images and sounds: a critical analysis of visual and sound works.
\n\u2022 The authenticity of communities: how to understand and deal with such representations, mythifications and simplifications.
\n\u2022 The multi-sensory approach to a territory as a way of enriching the experience
\n\u2022 Techniques and practicallities of field work. Planning field work, the role of time, mediation and involvement of local partners. Practice of field work in several villages.
\n\u2022 sound techniques applied to the knowledge of territories: practical exercises of sound recording in landscapes, work envirnoments, oral tradition and music, etc..
\n\u2022 Text, photographic and videographic documentation, digital mapping of information and the forms of integration between different media.
\n\u2022 Design of final multi-media multi-sensory installation.
\n\u2022 Talk with the inhabitants of what has been documented and created and its potential usefulness for the community.
\n\u2022 Organization of final documentation and discussion of future dissemination possibilities.<\/p>\n

6. Language Course<\/strong><\/p>\n

The course will be taught in English with translation to Portuguese, Spanish and\/or Italian when necessary.<\/p>\n
