Project Details
Description
What happens when historians, instead of visiting the archive with the purpose of writing history, visit the archive with the purpose to draw history?
In my dissertation project Visual Microhistory, or a Way of Wormage I combine artistic practice and history with the aim to develop visual microhistory as a methodological perspective for studying the historical and historiographical conditions of drawing history. The project has a interdisciplinary starting point, where the conditions to draw history (mapping, modelling, illustrating and animating) are studied at the intersection between historical research, archaeology, anthropology and sustainability studies. The main argument of my thesis is that history must always be seen as a social, economic, and ecological sustainability concern.
This project focuses on Gothenburg in the 18th century and how the conditions to make the urban environment visual came into being.
