Eth(n)ographic Gardening: Preliminary Research Design in a Study of Permaculture Acoustemologies (Alexander Karvelas)

As part of the UC Santa Barbara Ethnomusicology Forum’s UCSB ABD Graduate Student Series, UC Santa Barbara PhD candidate Alexander Karvelas will present a lecture titled “Eth(n)ographic Gardening: Preliminary Research Design in a Study of Permaculture Acoustemologies” on Wednesday, February 17, 2021 from 3:30-5 pm PST via Zoom. Synthesizing Steven Feld’s framework of acoustemology (1996, 2017) with environmental humanities discourses on the more-than-human (Rose and Van Dooren 2016, Haraway 2017), this presentation sets the theoretical and methodological groundwork for a study of permaculture acoustemologies—permacultural modes of knowing, relating, and tending through sound—in the context of gardening/land-tending as a more-than-human encounter.
