About this book

Positions processes of making and doing, in creative and critical practice, within a feminist new materialist framework

This international collection brings together arts-based researchers to explore how new materialisms have changed creative research practice. Grounded in a framework of affective and conceptual creativity, it makes existing and emerging pathways in research visible to challenge dualistic modes of thought-in-practice.

With a focus on the methods employed by individual researchers, the coverage is interdisciplinary, including screen and sound production, dance, literary theory, social media, creative writing and community arts. The collection explores transformations in scholarly practice through methods of ‘crimping’ which reflect the 4 thematic sections: bending, joining, making waves and holding.

 

  • Bending – ways of creating new deformities in thought or fields of practice;
  • Joining – methods for bringing diverse areas of scholarship together in new ways and the labour of holding such spaces together;
  • Making waves – methodological and theoretical strategies for making waves and enabling change;
  • Holding – practices of restricting access to knowledge as ways of retaining power, and challenges to these practices.

Key features:

  • Brings together established and emerging scholars from a range of disciplinary areas including creative writing, screen production, gender studies, radio production and cultural studies.
  • Reflects the important role of RMIT University, internationally recognized center of excellence, in this debate
  • Brings together key thinkers in new materialism and creative practice research, including Iris van der Tuin and Nanna Verhoeff.
  • Draws from specific practitioner knowledge gained through the materiality of research.
  • Discusses examples and case studies from Australia, China, Spain and the United Kingdom.
