Book Presentation
The Conflict of the Faculties: Perspectives on Artistic Research and Academia
Artistic research is an endeavour in which the artistic and the academic are connected. Here artistic practices contribute as research to what we know and understand, and academia opens its mind to forms of knowledge and understanding that are entwined with artistic practices. This book is about artistic research – what it is, or what it could be. And it is about the place that artistic research could have in academia, within the whole of academic research. It is also about the ways we speak about such issues, and about how the things we say (in this study and elsewhere) cause the practices involved to manifest themselves in specific ways, while also setting them into motion. In this sense, the book not only explores the phenomenon of artistic research in relation to academia, but it also engages with that relationship. This performative dimension of the book is interwoven with its constative and interpretive dimensions. If the book succeeds in its aims, it will not only advance knowledge and understanding of artistic research, but it will further the development of this emerging field.
