Beskrivning
Bringing together a range of creative practitioners and notable scholars, such as Thomas Elsaesser, Catherine Grant, Roberta Mock, Warren Buckland, Kiki Tianqi Yu, William Brown and others, this fascinating collection explores the challenges of retaining integrity during times of political and economic tensions in higher education and elsewhere. Creative Practice Research in the Age of Neoliberal Hopelessness offers a space for reflection for both practitioners and theorists, examining the conflict between creative inspiration and the reality of having to produce work that contributes to human knowledge, and that can also be measured against governmental standards, rules and regulations. The contributors present a radical and much-needed intervention that will interest all academics engaged with creative practice research. The volume also contains Thomas Elsaesser's unique personal account of the making of his first and only film The Sun Island.

Recensioner i media

In times of affective capitalism, information overkill　and the neo-liberal university　Creative Practice Research, in exquisite and challenging ways, makes visible to which extent artistic research as system-critical craft and politics can help us to produce deep knowledge and resist the growing co-option and institutionalisation of creativity itself.
