As a result of last week’s discussion it was decided we would invest the last session of this first semester trying to answer the following query: how to develop an art practice as a theorist? and how to write with critical theory?

For this purpose please prepare a 5 minute on-screen presentation of how you intend to use theory to develop your current research project and how you plan on writing about it.

Follow this method

  • -give your future theory essay a title and subtitle
  • -create a structured outline that lists its main sections and the topics you intend to approach theoretically
  • -indicate how you intend to use post-structuralist/ semiotic /psychoanalytic/ intertextual theories and methodologies to organise your research and reflect on its results
  • -include a bibliography of the essays you intend to reference in your final essay
  • -upload this outline to your blog with images of the visual materials you intend to use

You will use your blog for your on-screen class presentation. Note that other audio-visual or hardcopy (printed version) methods are not an option.
