This paper places the overarching thematic Conference framework on the Arts & Humanities at the centre of the dicussion. In the inter-university project Doing Culture – an interface project between A&H in Salzburg, Austria – students and interested people have come together under the author‘s leadership. From 2025 to 2027, Doing Culture examines the socio-cultural oriented bridges within the centuries-old partnership between A&H and links research with artistic and cultural practice.
Film screenings of project documentaries offer insights into the field studies on everyday Salzburg “stages”. Project participants send nonverbal and verbal signs in an artistic-performative, and discursive way. They critique current, unconnected study content and create and present Arts & Humanities-networking models (film examples).
Methodologically, the project makes systematic use of applied qualitative and polyvalent arts-based research criteria. Videography, the main empirical research method, enables key criteria of participation and interaction to be analysed and evaluated. The obtained data is incorporated into various exchange, interviews, reflection and interpretation cycles in communicative forms of validation.
Interim Findings: In the context of our studies to date, there are occasional connections between the A&H, but rarely connections between the humanities and the arts. This imbalance stems, i.a., from the different methods of knowledge generating and acquisition. This observation gives rise to the concern to rediscover or uncover anew the potential of the Arts and Humanities in their constitutive and contextual differences through reciprocal exchange processes, and to jointly identify points of resonance in order to apply connecting bridges in joint socio-cultural project practice.
