Academic Writing in arts-based practice

 Yesterday we had too great sessions with Peter Thomas and Sam Murray, looking at conventions in acadmic writing, why we write in arts-based practices, the role, language, tone and structures at play in this form of communication. 


The recordings of these sessions are on unihub on your MAPP ACI page, do watch them if you were unable to be a part of them yesterday, some really valuable insights and tools for reading, thinking, writing were shared. 


Some references made:


The text at the centre of the discussions was 

Martin, R. 2019. Feeling the Field: Reflections on Embodiment within Improvised Dance Ethnography 

 

Other texts that were referred to or that may be interesting in relation to these discussions:

Barthes, R. 1968. The Death of the Author

Barz, GF, and Cooley, TJ. 2008. Shadows in the Field: new perspectives for fieldwork in ethnomusicology

    I just watched both recordings. As someone who struggles with writing, this was really helpful for me. Some wonderful notes on structure. I particularly liked when Peter talked about the Stephen King book. I actually went ahead and ordered a copy and hope to read it for my studies.

    Hi Helen,
    Unfortunately I missed this session caught up in work life. Thank you for recording it. I just watched it and found it very useful as I begin to draft my work.
