Moulding Nature

Discursive Struggles Over the Environment

26 August - 26 November 2023

Moulding Nature raises questions about how we perceive our environment. In video works, collages, photos and installations, artists and other participants explore how different discourses affect the way we give meaning to nature and the role of mankind in it. Discourses that often are in conflict with each other and compete for space, sometimes even fight each other.

Moulding Nature

Discursive Struggles over Timișoara Environment

08 - 17 December 2023

Politehnica University of Timișoara, the Färgfabriken Contemporary Art Center based in Stockholm and students from the Architecture Faculty of UPT created a visual conversation reflecting about the human environment where nature often becomes fenced, elevated and even synthetic. Through this exhibition we can give personal meanings to questions such as: What is natural in the urban realm? Is nature a pretext for beautification? Do we build barriers to protect nature or to protect ourselves from it?

PhD Course on Discourse Studies and Method

Using Discourse Theoretical Analysis and Discursive Material Analysis

The course aims to discuss two methods in the field of discourse studies: Discourse-theoretical analysis (DTA) and Discursive-material analysis (DMA). Both are grounded in so-called high theory, with discourse theory as its main starting point, but with elements of actor-network theory and new materialism. This course will start with an introduction to these theoretical models, but will then move on to their analytical deployment in communication and media studies research.
