The conflict of the faculties : perspectives on artistic research and academia / Henk Borgdorff.

[Amsterdam] : Leiden University Press, c2012.

xvii, 277 p. ; 25 cm.

"In this emerging field of research, artistic practices contribute as research to what we know and understand, and academia opens its mind to forms of knowledge and understanding that are entwined with artistic practices. Henk Borgdorff also addresses how we speak about such issues, and how the things we say cause the practices involved to manifest themselves in specific ways, while also setting them into motion. In this sense, this work not only explores the phenomenon of artistic research in relation to academia, but it also engages with that relationship. This performative dimension of the book is interwoven with its constative and interpretive dimensions. Borgdorff's aim is not only to advance knowledge and understanding of artistic research, but to further the development of this emerging field."--Book jacket.
