THE RESEARCH SCHOOL
DOCTORAL COURSES
Basic Course 1: Writing Artistic Research 7.5 hp SPRING 2015, estimated course start in March 2015.
The first gatherings aim to highlight and discuss a range of artistic research writing practices. Possible topics for discussion: What
function does writing have in artistic research? What can an artistic research text look like? Later on, the course will focus on the
candidates' own (writing) projects. Selected pieces of students' work in progress are carefully read and discussed in detail on three
occasions. These text discussions are designed to demystify the writing but also to make the individual candidate aware of qualities and
weaknesses in his/her own writing practice. (Course leader: Fredrik Nyberg). Would you like to sign up? Send an email to Anna Frisk
Basic Course 2: Methodology 7.5 hp to be given in the AUTUMN of 2015 (Course leader: Mick Wilson)

THE FACULTY SEMINAR SERIES SPRING 2015
Fakultetsseminariet våren 2015
Tre seminarietillfällen är inplanerade för vårterminen:
•
22 januari 1300, Biblioteket utan böcker, Akademin Valand, Vasagatan 50, pl 2.
•
19 februari 1300, Glashuset, Akademin Valands gård (ingång från Chalmersgatan 4).
•
12 mars 1300, Glashuset, Akademin Valands gård (ingång från Chalmersgatan 4).
Ytterligare tillfällen kan läggas med anledning av PARSE, VR:s utvärdering eller på grund av andra behov.
22 januari
Fil dr Maria Bania presenterar sin och Tilman Skowronecks kommande forskningsprojekt Musik, materialitet och emotioner – en
undersökning om musikalisk beröring.
19 februari
Om Mara Lees ”När andra skriver: skrivande som motstånd, ansvar och tid”
Den 19 februari gör vi en genomgång av en av förra årets intressantaste avhandlingar på det litterära området, Mara Lee Gerdéns När
andra skriver: skrivande som motstånd, ansvar och tid som Mara Lee med framgång försvarade under disputationen den 28 november.
Avhandlingen finns tillgänglig på https://gupea.ub.gu.se/handle/2077/37324. Tanken med seminariet är dels att ge fakultetens lärare och
forskare en möjlighet att diskutera avhandlingen utifrån ett metod- och teoriperspektiv, dels att tala om avhandlingen i kontexten av
författarens övriga konstnärskap och se den som en del i ett större konstnärligt och politiskt projekt. Vi rekommenderar därför
seminariedeltagarna att ha såväl avhandlingen som Mara Lee Gerdéns senaste roman Future Perfect aktuella i samband med
seminariet. Diskussant är fil dr Mikael van Reis.
Vi kan eventuellt förlänga detta seminarium och avhandla ansökningsprojekt.
Ansökningsseminarium den 12 mars
Seminariet är ännu öppet för förslag.
OBS! Ansökningsperioden till VR startar i år den 17 februari och stänger den 23 mars.
Som vanligt tar vi upp emot ansökningar in progress och förser dem med kompetenta kommentatorer från konstnärliga fakulteten eller
utifrån. Vi betraktar de här seminarierna som en viktig kollektiv läroprocess. Det betyder att även om man inte ansöker själv eller
opponerar – så kan man ha stor nytta av diskussionerna inför kommande ansökningar och projekt. Seminarierna har varit och är en
framgångsfaktor för forskningen inom fakulteten – och dessutom en rolig mötesplats för lärare och forskare från olika institutioner!
Kontakta oss med de projektidéer och texter som du vill lägga fram före den 30 januari! Du/ni (fler kollektiva projekt, tack!) kan posta
texter till Johan Öberg
Välkomna till en ny spännande termin!

screenings and workshops. We are especially interested in contributions that critically reflect upon, and/or in someway work to
modifythe familiar conventions of the academic paper, the panel discussion and the artist’s talk.

recommend early submission.

DISCUSSION ON THE ARTISTIC DOCTOR DEGREE
Tuesday the 17th of February 2015 at 11-16.30, in Hus 28 at the Royal Institute of Art (Skeppsholmen) in Stockholm.
Dear all,
as a part of the process of closing down Konstnärliga forskarskolan we are inviting participating artists, supervisors and school leaders
to a joint so far evaluation of the interpretation of intentions with, practices around and conditions for the Swedish artistic PhD degree.
What were the intentions? Have they changed? What are the practices in relations to visions and statements? What are the conditions?
What do we want for the future? And who is "we?"
Do you want to be there and are you able to join in?
Please get back to me before the 30th of January if you do, and we'll get back to participants with further details.
all best/ylva
