Cultural practices 2016

This module comprised of a small-scale case study into how students visually perceive the culture of the internet.  I employed an ethnographic methodology using a reflexive paradigm to examine the links between culture, identity and community. Arts-based research methods were used through which to elicit data by asking participants to draw their vision of the internet. The research explored the theories of Bhahba (1994) and Bauman (2001; 2004) concerning culture, community and identity.  The essay concluded by highlighting the importance of including digital technologies within art education to meet the ever-changing needs of students.
