Research into Practice 2008Research into Practice 2008 will be held on 31 October 2008 at the Royal Society of Arts, London, and will explore the problem of interpretation in research in the visual and performing arts.
It is characteristic of research outputs, reports and theses in traditional disciplines that they are expressed in unambiguous language.
One reason for this is to establish the grounds and argument from which the conclusions derive.
Another reason is to be quite clear and explicit about what is being claimed as original by the author for the research.
This characteristic has the effect of reinforcing the dominant knowledge models such as "the scientific method", "empirical methods", etc.
However these models come from disciplines whose aims and objectives may differ from those in the arts and humanities.
There has been much discussion about the suitability of such models for the visual and performing arts, which seem to rely on a more pluralistic approach to interpretation which values the fact that different generations and different cultures find their own value in the artefact.
The conference will focus on the theory of interpretation in research in traditional disciplines and on the emerging theory of interpretation in research in the visual and performing arts.
