Course description
In this course the student will engage with various modes of writing pertaining to artistic research and its connected fields. The course consists of text seminars, lectures, and collaborative and individual writing exercises. Thematically it is oriented around questions of method, process, ethics and aesthetics, specifically considering aspects of authorship and relations between languages, texts and meaning–matter. There will be a focus on the possibilities of writing in relation to the own artistic research project and artistic field(s).
All through the course the students will work on an individual writing project connected to their research. Through reading and discussing each other’s texts, the participants will train skills of peer reviewing such as close reading, note taking, and giving and receiving textual feedback.
Course participants will be evaluated on their active participation in seminars and writing workshops; contribution during feedback sessions; and progress made on their individual writing project.
The course is taught in English, and will be conducted through course meetings and in individual zoom sessions.
*The participants can chose to write their individual writing project in either in English or Swedish.
