Abstract This paper discusses Architectural History and Theory at the Graduate School of Architecture, University of Johannesburg in 2019. The curriculum is centered on a series of conversations as the means to generate forms of engagement for a plurality of voices, contested views and dialogic encounters, as a way of working toward an alternative institutional imaginary. The focus on conversation and dialogue aims to create a space for slow and shared scholarship, to become a manifestation of spatial resistance to the imperatives of the neoliberal university and global economies of higher education. This paper discusses some of the key conceptual and practical moves undertaken in the development of a new history and theory course through examples of student work. The paper points to inclusive and reflexive pedagogical methods and modes of collaboration as central to resistance, and as the means that enable generative and supportive networks across geographic and institutional boundaries.

对话室：约翰内斯堡 GSA 的建筑历史和理论中的批判性对话

摘要本文讨论了 2019 年约翰内斯堡大学建筑研究生院的建筑历史和理论。课程以一系列对话为中心，作为产生多种声音、有争议的观点和对话相遇的参与形式的手段，作为一种努力实现另一种制度想象的方式。对对话和对话的关注旨在为缓慢和共享的学术创造空间，成为对新自由主义大学和全球高等教育经济要求的空间阻力的体现。本文通过学生工作的例子讨论了在开发新的历史和理论课程时采取的一些关键的概念和实践举措。
