Plaza para un doctorado en Berna: ‘We’re hibernating! An artistic and social scientific exploration of the human - animal boundaries in zoological gardens'
The Bern University of the Arts (BUA) unites a multitude of artistic disciplines under one roof and develops multi-discipline perspectives in teaching and research. It offers a programme of courses and further education in the fields of Design and Fine Arts, Conservation and Restoration, Music, Opera/Theatre and Literature.
The inter-disciplinary research focus ‘Intermediality’ is part of the research department. It tests translation processes between different mediums and, in particular, explores interferences between scientific and artistic methods of approach and representation.
Within the framework of a three-year interdisciplinary project ‘We’re hibernating! An artistic and social scientific exploration of the human - animal boundaries in zoological gardens, funded by the Swiss National Fund and affiliated with the ‘Intermediality’ research focus, we are looking for a
doctorate student (in the social sciences)
starting from 1.3.2012 or by arrangement.
The aim of the project is to investigate, using an interdisciplinary combination of artistic-installation methods and a social scientific approach, the handling of human – animal relationships in and of the spatial arrangements of the zoo. This will be carried out with the help of two doctorate students, one of which should have a background in the arts and the other in social sciences. The methodology is to include artistic and ethnographic explorations.
Further information can be found at http://www.hkb.bfh.ch/de/hkb/stellenangebote/ . Please be aware that we are only accepting online applications for this position.
The project leader, Priska Gisler (Leader of Research Focus ‘Intermediality’) can also be contacted at priska.gisler@hkb.bfh.ch with any further questions.
