SUMMARY:Art as a Mode of Enquiry: Graduate Symposium
UID:20260609T182209Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-bd7db559-gt5qm
TZID:Europe/London
LOCATION:Oxford\, United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:<p>Drawing on a spectrum of disciplinary approaches\, the conference seeks&nbsp\;to investigate the theoretical underpinnings of the advanced degrees&nbsp\;in art that have recently become established in many universities in&nbsp\;the UK and abroad. In what ways might art practice constitute a form&nbsp\;of research? What kinds of knowledge can it produce and how can these&nbsp\;be evaluated? How can artists learn from\, critique\, and productively&nbsp\;contribute to other disciplines? What historical precedents might be&nbsp\;used to explore this relationship?</p>\n<p>We invite postgraduate presentations from all disciplines\, including&nbsp\;fine art\, art history\, philosophy\, cultural studies and psychology.&nbsp\;Themes covered may include but are not limited to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the relation between the arts and other humanities disciplines</li>\n<li>the relationship between science and art</li>\n<li>the place of art within the evolving university framework</li>\n<li>artists&rsquo\; writings and the notion of an &ldquo\;academic&rdquo\; practice</li>\n<li>alternative forms of research presentation</li>\n<li>psychological and philosophical accounts of the cognitive value of art</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Papers will be 25 minutes long\, followed by 10 minutes for questions.&nbsp\;We welcome proposals as abstracts of between 300 and 400 words\,&nbsp\;accompanied by a short CV. Submission deadline is the 15th of April and&nbsp\;notification of acceptance will be provided shortly thereafter. Please&nbsp\;submit the proposal and CV as attachments to:&nbsp\;gradsymposium2012@ruskin-sch.ox.ac.uk</p>
