U5: Portfolio of experimentation – reflections on failure
by
in Unit 5I have been reflecting on ideas of failure in relation to my portfolio of experimentation. I spent a lot of last week in a deep state of failure. I was struggling to get to grips with what exactly my experiments had been about, and was worried that it had all been for nothing. During this…

U5: A portfolio of experimentation in writing – starting point

in Unit 5Following on from my thinking over the past two blogs, I’ve decided to use my portfolio of experimentation to set myself a series of writing-based experiments and challenges to push forward my practice.

Unit 3: What remains?
by
in Unit 3Strongest memory from U3 – a moment from class that remains in your mind? What readings/materials had the biggest impact on you, do you remember best and why?

U3: First draft of submission and reflections

in Unit 3Following on from my idea to build an archive of decisions, for my U3 I’ve chosen to curate a single conversation about a decision.

U3: The (theoretical) archive of decisions – the process so far
by
in Unit 3I’ve been working on an initial idea for my unit 3 submission that I’m calling ‘The Archive of Decisions‘. I’m excited by the idea but it has already gotten away from me a bit. It far excedes the scope of this unit, so I’m starting to wonder whether it could be my unit 6 or…

W24 II: On art, empathy & responsibility – and Adolescence again
by
in Unit 3Since my last blog, my mind has kept turning over some of the issues that the Çalışkan article and the Netflix series Adolescence raised for me. After discussing what Bakhtin’s views of cognition mean for ethics, Çalışkan goes on to discuss empathy and the related act of creating art. For Bakhtin since humans are such…

W24: On ethics, responsibility – and Adolescence
by
in Unit 3This week, ahead of Marsha’s presentation on her work, she suggested we read Ethical Aesthetics /Aesthetic Ethics: The Case of Bakhtin by Prof. Dr. Sevda Çalışkan. The reading expanded on several lines of thought that have intrigued me for a while, so I wanted to record it here. I’ve long been interested in ideas of…
