Course of action
On the one hand it examines the aesthetic practices, understood as the linguistic and non-linguistic ability to shape the world, that form the foundations of these disciplines. On the other hand, it also seeks to determine what genuinely characterizes the formation of these aesthetic practices and how these have altered on account of increased research demands and recent shifts in focus in the tertiary education system. Our understanding of the formation and exercise of aesthetic practices is investigated by means of an ethnographic study in the subjects of architecture, design and art, and we examine their epistemological potential in times of increased demands of academization and research.
