Guests: Monica Sand and Julian Klein Would you like to sign up? Send an to Anna Frisk Mark the dates:week 20 Thursday 21st May Workshop Week 36 Thursday 3rd September Workshop Week 42 Monday 12th Oct and Tuesday 13th Oct - SYMPOSIUM THE FACULTY SEMINAR SERIES SPRING 2015 Fakultetsseminariet våren 2015 Två seminarietillfällen kvar under vårterminen: 19 februari 1300, Glashuset, Akademin Valands gård (ingång från Chalmersgatan 4). 12 mars 1300, Glashuset, Akademin Valands gård (ingång från Chalmersgatan 4). Ytterligare tillfällen kan läggas med anledning av PARSE, VR:s utvärdering eller på grund av andra behov. 19 februari Om Mara Lees När andra skriver: skrivande som motstånd, ansvar och tid Den 19 februari gör vi en genomgång av en av förra årets intressantaste avhandlingar på det litterära området, Mara Lee Gerdéns När andra skriver: skrivande som motstånd, ansvar och tid som Mara Lee med framgång försvarade under disputationen den 28 november. Avhandlingen finns tillgänglig på Tanken med seminariet är dels att ge fakultetens lärare och forskare en möjlighet att diskutera avhandlingen utifrån ett metod- och teoriperspektiv, dels att tala om avhandlingen i kontexten av författarens övriga konstnärskap och se den som en del i ett större konstnärligt och politiskt projekt. Vi rekommenderar därför seminariedeltagarna att ha såväl avhandlingen som Mara Lee Gerdéns senaste roman Future Perfect aktuella i samband med seminariet. Diskussant är fil dr Mikael van Reis.

5 Vi kan eventuellt förlänga detta seminarium och avhandla ansökningsprojekt. Ansökningsseminarium den 12 mars Seminariet är ännu öppet för förslag. OBS! Ansökningsperioden till VR startar i år den 17 februari och stänger den 23 mars. Som vanligt tar vi upp emot ansökningar in progress och förser dem med kompetenta kommentatorer från konstnärliga fakulteten eller utifrån. Vi betraktar de här seminarierna som en viktig kollektiv läroprocess. Det betyder att även om man inte ansöker själv eller opponerar så kan man ha stor nytta av diskussionerna inför kommande ansökningar och projekt. Seminarierna har varit och är en framgångsfaktor för forskningen inom fakulteten och dessutom en rolig mötesplats för lärare och forskare från olika institutioner! Kontakta oss med de projektidéer och texter som du vill lägga fram före den 30 januari! Du/ni (fler kollektiva projekt, tack!) kan posta texter till Johan Öberg Välkomna till en ny spännande termin!

6 For more information, please visit the NEU/NOW Activity Page on the ELIA Website NEW BOOK: EFVA LILJA: ART, RESEARCH, EMPOWERMENT: THE ARTIST AS RESEARCHER Every person contributes, consciously or subconsciously, to the foundation of our culture. Our culture encompasses all that leaves an imprint on our intra-human relations, here and now. An element in our culture is what we call art. Some choose to become artists and produce art. What does it mean to see the world, to see education and research with the eye of an artist? This book is written from an artist s perspective. It discusses cause and effect, steering and empowerment in relation to artistic research based on the Swedish system; it explores how the artistic researcher can enhance art, artistic education, markets and commercial values. Increased knowledge makes constructive use of resistance and restraints; it empowers networks for cooperation. A field of research in flux demands new strategies for taking a stand. Research is one way to do it. Efva Lilja, Artist, Professor, Expert Advisor on Artistic Research at the Ministry of Education and Research in Sweden Order or download the book for free HERE. The book is available in Swedish and in English. SAR SOCIETY OF ARTISTIC RESEARCH Unconditional Love The SAR Spring Event 2015 April 30 - May Venue: Chelsea College of Arts / University of the Arts London Unconditional Love will take the participants from on-site research into how caring and attention is expressed in the practice of artistic research.
