Because of the new scenarios of virtual teaching
during the Covid-19 pandemic, eight female university professors from different disciplines in Europe and South America (Argentina,
Austria, Spain, Uruguay) agree to revise their educational strategies and research methodologies with one premise: to jointly
organize a collection of multi-categorized images about the environments of certain culinary rituals, based on the kitchens
designed by three precursor architects.
To carry out an action-research on the topic in a virtual collaborative
platform. To reflect on the cultural diversity and social character of our discipline, emphasizing its precise character with
documents and works from different origins. To glimpse new learning for change from case studies such as the kitchens designed
by Grete Schütte-Lihotzky, Lina Bo Bardi and Charlotte Perriand.
We propose a synaptic workshop as a line of university, poly-geographic and multidisciplinary
collaborative work and we formulate a model of data collection in strata that reformulate the research of the participants
and from which we will obtain variables, with which to build a document according to the characteristics of the elements studied.
These values may vary depending on the variable and the situations that the researchers want to consider.
We use
a platform to visualize multiple approaches, formal reformulations, continuities and transformations of the theme, encouraging
an iterative debate. As in the "Warburgian" methodology, we constantly interrogate the sources brought by the participants.
First,
we incorporated graphic documents and texts into the virtual board with justification. We organized them according to the
aforementioned variables: image, language, montage, action, design, ritual, object and imaginary, and we established connections
between categories, generating new interpretations.
Convinced of thinking in images as a synthesis of visuality
and culture, this experiment verifies the alignment between academia and practice, teaching and learning from travel, travel
and everyday life such as culinary rituals. This way of thinking through forms of photography, ethnographic drawing, and other
graphics, generates a collaborative associative iconology necessary to reformulate the research processes in an era of excess
of sources where reflecting on the discourses generated is the path proposed from these collections of images of culinary
rituals.
As a closing of the presentation for the conference, we propose to present together
with the papers the experiential video made with the team, as a record of our meetings.
As a background, we clarify that
it was presented for the Fecies Forum 2021 call.
