PhD Call for Applications

For the second cohort of doctoral students (starting in autumn 2022), we are seeking up to 6 emerging researchers from the fields of film, dance, theatre, performance and transdisciplinary arts whose work involves performative and/or cinematic processes. Candidates must hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in an artistic or art-historical discipline and profound artistic practice spanning several years. Residence in Switzerland is not required, but participants must be willing to take part in activities in Zurich and at the partner university.

Save the Date: DEADLINE APPLICATION
Sunday 21. November 2021

Since ZHdK is not entitled doctoral degrees in its own right, doctoral degrees/PhDs are awarded by a partner university. Our partner universities enable ZHdK doctoral candidates to earn a scientific-artistic or an artistic doctorate. Research activities, supervision and events take place partly in Zurich but mostly at the respective partner university.

Selbstevident? Zum Verhältnis von Forschung und Präsentation in der künstlerischen Forschung – Vortrag und Workshop von Sibylle Peters

10.01.2020 |

Self-evident? The relationship between research and presentation in artistic research – Lecture and workshop by Sibylle Peters

Die westliche Tradition der Erkenntnisproduktion betrachtet Präsentation als ein der Forschung nachgeordnetes Ereignis: zunächst die Forschung, dann die Arbeit an der Präsentation, der Vermittlung von Ergebnissen. Die Science und Media Studies haben im Unterschied dazu nachgewiesen, welche wichtige Rolle Darstellungsverfahren und Performanz in Erkenntnisprozessen durchgehend spielen. Man könnte annehmen, dass die künstlerische Forschung für diesen Zusammenhang eine besondere Expertise hätte, da in künstlerischen Prozessen Verfahren der Darstellung und der Performance ja zentral sind. Dennoch ist die Beziehung zwischen Forschungsprozess und Präsentation auch in der künstlerischen Forschung alles andere als geklärt. Im Gegenteil. In meinem Vortrag und dem anschließenden Workshop möchte ich über gängige Schwierigkeiten im Verhältnis von Prozess und Präsentation sprechen, über Ursachen und Lösungen nachdenken und dazu ermutigen, mit der Figuration von Evidenz gezielt zu experimentieren. 

Zur Lektüre bei Interesse: Sibylle Peters: Der Vortrag als Performance, Bielefeld 2011.
