The Nomadic Curriculum – A Manual Series

The Manual Series takes the notion of the nomadic curriculum, developed and rehearsed within the Whole Life Academy, as its starting point. This situated, collective practice proposes a form of activation that functions as a meta-mobilization of archival material – setting objects and narrations into motion and correlating their statuses, conditions and milieus. The publication series expands this approach into other existing and potential settings of knowledge production around the academic, the curatorial and the literary. The editors present the three volumes and discuss: What can this series propose in terms of a how-to for archival research? What are the common elements of collective research and practice that form the foundation of such a curriculum?
