Description de l'ouvrage :
In Creative Practice Research in Film and Media, creative practitioners discuss their experiences and examine how to retain integrity during times of political and economic battles in higher education, and attempts to quantify creative work. It uses the notion of tactical compliance to evaluate whether and when creative practitioners compromise their creativity by working within the higher education system. It offers a space for reflection for both practitioners and theorists, and it presents a much-needed intervention, which will be of interest to all academics engaged with creative practice as research.

À propos de l'auteur :
Agnieszka Piotrowska, PhD, is an award-winning international creative practice researcher, educator, psychologist and filmmaker known for her dedication to inclusivity. Based in the UK, Professor Piotrowska has presented her work internationally, inspiring others through cross-cultural collaboration. She is a member of the General Council of the Visible Evidence, the most important global network for documentary studies. Formerly Head of the School of Film, Media and Performing Arts at the University for the Creative Arts, she currently supervises PhD students at Staffordshire and Oxford Brookes Universities. From 2018 to 2024, she was Professor of Film and Cultural Studies at the University of Gdansk, directing the Visible Evidence conference there. She has given keynotes internationally, focusing on the links between theory and practice. Her acclaimed documentary Married to the Eiffel Tower and her new award-winning experimental film work in Zimbabwe have received global recognition. Professor Piotrowska’s extensive publications on psychoanalysis, culture and cinema include Psychoanalysis and Ethics in Documentary Film (2014, 2023) Black and White: Cinema, Politics, and the Arts in Zimbabwe (2017) and the monograph The Nasty Woman in Cinema and Culture (2019), as well as four edited collections.

Revue de Presse :
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. -- Brenda Hollweg, University of Leeds

This trailblazing book finally brings together two areas often and unfairly seen as discrete: practice and research. Passionately arguing for film as conveyor of scholarly knowledge and, more daringly, for the author’s subjective inscription in creative work, editor Agnieszka Piotrowska launches a generative forum, where notable creators-cum-theorists engage in self-revealing, sometimes dissonant, but always inspiring dialogue. A feat to be celebrated. -- Lúcia Nagib, Professor of Film, University of Reading

Creative Practice Research in the Age of Neoliberal Hopelessness offers a unique investigation of the different ways in which creative filmmaking offers its own distinctive forms of research and relates to theoretical insights. The emphasis on auto-ethnographic work, personal reflections on creative practice and the subjective dimensions of knowledge give surprising and candid cutting edge insights that are uncommon in academic texts. With variegated contributions from all corners of the world, this book provide a wealth of perspectives and practices to teach and think about in the growing field of creative audio-visual practice, research and theory. -- Patricia Pisters, University of Amsterdam

The book’s focus is on film and video practice as research and the ways such creative work may both produce new knowledge and create new ways in which actuality is represented as knowable and as knowledge. Many of the authors are themselves documentary film-makers and they explore in their essay both their practice itself and their thinking about the films they have made in highly original ways. The essays offer illuminating insights and new theoretical perspectives, making the book a very important contribution to film studies and practice within the academy. -- Professor Emeritus Elizabeth Cowie, University of Kent
