Writing as Artistic Research seminar
What is writing as a form of artistic research and what could it be? How do the methods, criteria and objectives of written artistic research differ from creative writing? What about literary humanities research? What does literary artistic research have to offer to readers, writers and critics?
The Writing as Artistic Research seminar explores the ways in which (professional) writer-centered literary artistic research works and what it could offer to other fields of artistic research as well as to the humanities and literature studies. Depending on the definition, literary artistic research can be seen as a young field of study, or as a field of study that has been accumulating for ages (essayistics, poetology and the traditions and methods of experimental writing).
The event will be arranged by the Research Institute´s Network for Artistic Research and also celebrates the launch of the issue of niin & näin magazine on Writing as Artistic Research (4/2024). Read the online content of the magazine: Writing as Artistic Research
