Home/bodies: Exploring the affective experiences of people at home using scenographic practice and ecological thinking

这项以实践为导向的研究将借鉴风景学的策略，探索和重新想象生态(共生)的路线，重点关注个人在其家庭环境中的情感体验。通过一系列的实践调解，该项目将邀请一组参与者(与研究结果相关)将传统上在现场表演中使用的场景策略应用到他们习惯性的生活空间中。这些体验的创造，以及对参与者反应的批判性分析，将反复受到生态思维的启发：特别是蒂姆·英戈尔德的“对应”概念，唐娜·哈拉韦对“反应能力”的思考，以及蒂莫西·莫顿对“黑暗生态”的思考，这些都是在当代生活和气候危机的背景下讲述人、地点和事物的相互联系的。通过这一项目，该项目旨在挑战因全球流行病而加剧的内部/外部和私人/公共的二元结构；突出最熟悉的日常栖息地--家--作为一个与自然景观一样值得生态考虑的地点；并促进可持续共存和居住的具体模式的可能性。场景--一种植根于身体、物体和环境的关系的实践(McKinney和Palmer 2017)，以及定位和其他地方的手段(Hann 2019)--以体验的情感质量为基础，考虑到感觉、材料和空间。凯瑟琳·斯图尔特的《大气调谐》和《平凡的情感》结合了这种方法，激发了人们对日常生活中活生生的遭遇的关注，这些遭遇虽然转瞬即逝，但却是强大的。虽然这种“参与”的能力在这里是通过艺术实践来促进的，但该项目将提供关于人们如何与他们熟悉的环境联系-或能够联系-的洞察，其方式与社会学、地理学、建筑学和生态批评主义的各个方面以及人类学和哲学的当前话语产生共鸣。

This practice-led research will draw on the tactics of scenography to explore and reimagine routes for ecological (co)existence, focusing on the affective experiences of individuals in their domestic home environments. Through a series of practical mediations, the project will invite a group of participants (with stakes in the research outcomes) to apply scenographic strategies, traditionally employed within live performance, to their habitual living spaces. The creation of these experiences, alongside a critical analysis of participant responses, will be iteratively informed by ecological thinking: in particular Tim Ingold's concept of 'correspondence', Donna Haraway's meditations on 'response-ability' and Timothy Morton's reckoning with 'dark ecology', that speak to the interconnectedness of people, places and things in the context of contemporary life and the climate crisis. Through this, the project aims to challenge the binaries of inside/outside and private/public that were exacerbated by the global pandemic; to highlight the most familiar of everyday habitats -the home - as a site as worthy for ecological consideration as natural landscapes; and to furtherpossibilities for embodied modes of sustainable co-existence and habitation. Scenography - a practice rooted in the relationality of bodies, objects and environments (McKinney and Palmer 2017), as well as a means for orienting and othering place (Hann 2019) - grounds this project's methodology in the affective qualities of experience, accounting for the sensory, the material and the spatial. This approach is contextualised by Kathleen Stewart's 'atmospheric attunements' and 'ordinary affects', stimulating an attentiveness towards the animate encounters of everyday life that, whilst fleeting and evasive, are nonetheless powerful. Though this ability 'to attend' is facilitated here through artistic practice, the project will offer insights into how people relate - or can relate -to their familiar environments in ways that resonate with aspects of sociology, geography, architectural studies and ecocriticism, as well as current discourse in anthropology and philosophy.
