CALL FOR PAPERS
Determining Creative Practice
A practice-based research symposium
Wednesday December 2nd 2009
1030-530, University of Bedfordshire, UK
FREE EVENT
Speakers:
Mike Stubbs, Filmmaker & Director, FACT
Dr Jonathan Lahey Dronsfield, Reader in Theory and Philosophy of Art, University of
Reading
The University of Bedfordshire, University of Derby & the Practice Section of MeCCSA
present a one day practice-based symposium for media practitioners and academics.
In the context of writing, reflecting and presenting practice-based research what role do
notions of determinism play? Are the requirements of practice-based research over-
determined? Is there space to consider the concept of pre determination within creative
practice?
We welcome presentations of all forms of creative work, including films, creative writing,
performance, sound and new media that address the following themes:
Is the core origin of creativity within the individual, society, or something else?
Is the conscious processing of creating work just one part of the creative story?
If proposals ‘determine’ how useful are they in a process of creative discovery? What
alternative models exist?
If media practice is predetermined, what does this say about the product, the practice,
and the practitioner? How does this relate to originality, creativity, and progress?
What is the role of collaboration in questioning the self-determination of the artist, or the
work of art?
What role does commissioning and pre-production play in determining a creative
practice?
To what extent do the institutional and commercial bodies that enable and fund practice-
based research encourage the production of paratexts which predetermine the nature and
scope of the practice and the context within which that practice can be 'read'?
Creative presentations of 10 minutes followed by 10 minutes of theoretical interpretation
/ reflection are encouraged.
The event is free and includes lunch and refreshments.
Please e-mail proposals of 300 words to both organisers by 2 November 2009.
