Discourses of Dissonance: Enabling sites of praxis and practice amongst Arts, Design & Media doctoral study

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

    Abstract

    Ph.D. study occupies a fractional and anomalous space in the university structurally, pedagogically and otherwise. This chapter contends that the Arts and Design Ph.D. and its complex relationship with practice, inhabits a dissonant terrain that further disrupts the normative frameworks of the academe and the landscape of doctoral research itself. Underpinned by a conceptual model of ?research-practice-pedagogy? and research at the intersection of these fields, transformational, performative and embodied spaces of learning, teaching and becoming are explored as part of a spatiotemporality that brings to the fore spaces of praxis and practice. Whilst dissonance is normally conceived as a negative lexicon, the dissonance of the Arts and Design Ph.D. is reconceived as a generative para-dox in relation to academia?s doxa vital in eliciting ?doctoralness?.
