About this book
This project addresses the contexts of Practice as Research and how to undertake it. This second iteration updates thinking and practices but sustains a direct and clear approach on how to become a practitioner-researcher. New features include an extension of range “beyond” the arts and a case for intra-disciplinarity in Practice Research as an influence in the formation of the “future university”. A comparison is made between Artistic Research and Practice Research recognizing that research through practices with being-doing-knowing is central to both. Acknowledging the current crisis in legitimation, a broad view is taken of how things might be known by an onto-epistemology for the twenty-first century foregrounding the bodymind but sustaining rationality and community by way of Other/other dialogic exchange. Perspectives from around the world in Part II offset the more Eurocentric emphasis in Part I.
Reviews
“The first edition of this book was like a Rosetta Stone, an academic text which I felt was actually “speaking to me””. (Park Stickney, Jazz Harp Tutor at the Royal Academy of Music, UK, and doctoral candidate at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, UK)
