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

这项以实践为主导的研究将利用场景学的策略来探索和重新构想生态（共同）存在的路线，重点关注个人在家庭环境中的情感体验。通过一系列实际的调解，该项目将邀请一组参与者（与研究成果有利害关系）将传统上用于现场表演的场景策略应用到他们习惯的生活空间中。这些经验的创造，以及对参与者反应的批判性分析，将被生态思维反复地影响：特别是蒂姆·英格戈尔德的“对应”概念，唐娜·哈拉威对“反应能力”的思考，以及蒂莫西·莫顿对“黑暗生态学”的思考，这些都谈到了当代生活和气候危机背景下人、地点和事物的相互联系。通过这种方式，该项目旨在挑战因全球大流行而加剧的内部/外部和私人/公共二元对立；突出我们最熟悉的日常栖息地——家——作为一个与自然景观一样值得考虑的生态地点；并进一步探讨可持续共存和居住的具体模式的可能性。场景设计——一种根植于身体、物体和环境的关系的实践（McKinney and Palmer 2017），也是一种定位和其他地方的手段（Hann 2019）——将这个项目的方法建立在体验的情感品质上，考虑到感官、材料和空间。这种方法被凯瑟琳·斯图尔特（Kathleen Stewart）的“大气调谐”和“普通影响”所背景化，激发了对日常生活中有生命的遭遇的关注，虽然转瞬即逝，但却很强大。虽然这种“参与”的能力在这里通过艺术实践得到了促进，但该项目将以社会学、地理学、建筑研究和生态批评以及人类学和哲学的当前话语产生共鸣的方式，为人们如何与或能够与他们熟悉的环境联系起来提供见解。

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.
