<b>what is it?</b> Addressing broad issue of methodologies in cultural
research, this masterclass will be of interest to postgraduates and
early career researchers working across a variety of areas including
cultural studies, media anthropology and sociology, sociology and
anthropology of music and art, cultural and media policy studies,
media and communication studies, and television studies. The
masterclass will focus on the use of ethnography in the study of
cultural/media production and cultural/media organisations, but it
will interest all those using ethnography in their work. Among the
themes to be addressed are genre, aesthetics, authorship, value and
history/temporalities. The masterclass will involve an interactive
lecture, and discussion of Prof. Born's work, which participants will
be asked to read prior to the masterclass. In the afternoon three
participants will be selected to give 15 minute summaries of a paper
on their research, and Prof. Born and the participants will give
feedback on this work, with particular attention to its methodological
framing. <br>
<br>
<b>how much does it cost?</b> The masterclasses are<u> free of
charge</u> to successful applicants, and include lunch and
morning/afternoon teas. Applications from PGs & ECRS who do
not live in Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne are strongly encouraged:
interstate participants' travel and accommodation will be covered by
