Scene 11.1-2 is out now! Special Issue

Intellect is pleased to announce that Scene 11.1-2 is out now!

 

Special Issue: ‘The Art of Making: Methods for Research’

 

This volume has emerged from discussions about the status of arts practice and its legitimacy as research. Art-making as a means of research enquiry remains ambiguous and ephemeral, but increasingly acknowledged as an important way to model our knowledge and experience of the world. We have collected a number of different perspectives on the status and practice of art as a method or research enquiry. Together they represent a conversation about how we work in this field and what methods work.

Aims & Scope

 

Scene is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to a critical examination of space and scenic production. Scene welcomes new critical frameworks for the scholarship of creating a scene and invites contributions which explore all aspects of design contexts for live and recorded performance – particularly those which pay attention to the shaping of artistic vision, aesthetic sophistication, critical thinking and craft.
