>CALL FOR PAPERS
>
>RESEARCH INTO PRACTICE
>CONFERENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HERTFORDSHIRE
>7 JULY 2000
>
>The central theme of the conference is to examine the foundations of
>practice-based research in art and design. Models of research through
>practice may be found in the professional development of the subject
>through exhibited and award-winning artefacts, in accrued historical
>evidence in collections, in academic studies and their assessment in the
>RAE, etc. We are particularly interested in how any of these models can be
>mapped onto research degree regulations to provide paradigms of research
>through practice for students and their supervisors.
>
>The aim will be to generate papers that critically address these issues and
>contribute to the key literature for the next few years. Conference papers
>will be grouped into related themes. To facilitate the dissemination of the
>outcomes, selected papers will be published in the electronic web-based
>journal Working Papers in Art and Design (ISSN 1466-4917) and will be made
>available on the internet long-term.
>
>Issues that need to be addressed include:
>
> What is the relationship of research to knowledge and interpretation?
>
> How does practice generate research outcomes?
>
> Is all studio practice a form of research?
>
> What is the function of a text/thesis in a practice-based submission?
>
> Does conventional academic writing exclude a "poetics" of enquiry?
>
> What is the role of serendipity in a "systematic" enquiry?
>
> How might responses to the above questions be compared to whether
> Picasso deserves a PhD?
>
>Abstracts of papers are now invited. For further information please visit
