Paper Title: Knowledge Production as Process in Arts Practice as Research
"This paper proposes that in Practice as Research, knowledge production is to be found in the process of making rather than in the end result, and that knowledge production might therefore be more readily demonstrated in PaR without recourse to explanatory written texts if PhD assessment considered process equally with or, in some cases instead of, outcome.
I am a 3rd year PhD by Practice student in the animation department at Wolverhampton University. I was at first confused by the term ‘methodology’, and worried about producing a methodology account for my exegesis, but once I started to read through the considerable existing literature on the subject of Practice as Research methodology I became very interested. I can’t resist diving into the underlying questions about the nature of knowledge and communication. Of course, I’m still confused."
