Event overview
The Ph.D / M.Res program in Advanced Practices (Department of Visual Cultures, Goldsmiths) is a far reaching and coordinated project to understand and articulate a vocabulary to describe and re value composite practices across the arts, humanities and social sciences. At its heart is an understanding that research, previously understood to be preparatory, is in fact the main event and increasingly the very subject of practices.
These practices operate differently than inter or multi disciplinarity, being multi positional, creating new relations between knowledges and operating through newly invented methods. Advanced Practices are unique in moving methods and protocols from arts practices across to modes of study seen to be more empirical, more material and more analytical, and allowing these to reconceptualise themselves.
The political drive of the project is spurred by the increasing managerialism of knowledge production, its subjection to narrow models of evaluation and the demands for research and practice to result in predictable and legible outcomes. The project’s aim is to launch a platform for the revaluation of value, to stress the incommensurability of practice driven research to outcome imperatives. How to produce an understanding of the shifting tectonics of research and the actual working of paradigm shifts is the main drive of the project.
