TT Public Talk | Situation-Creation: Research Writing In The Present with Anna Gibbs
The last weekend of every month the institute is in session, we will hold a topic-based weekend intensive with our PhD students and you are invited to attend a series of talks ranging from artist presentations, to talks driven by the workshop topics or practice research itself. For those of you interested in pursuing doctoral studies, the latter talks may be of special interest. See the full program here: TT Intensive Program and the list of talks here: TT Public Talks.

Situation-Creation: Research Writing In The Present
Lecture + Q&A With Anna Gibbs
To write is to bring a present alive. To write is to create a new situation. To write is to conjure a relational magic, for each new situation entails a new organisation of relations. A situation might be material, affective, political or conceptual. The methods of situation-creation might involve remembering, storying, rearranging, imagining and dreaming its relational magic into being, but they are above all experimental, and experimentalism is always an embodied project. Here we explore story and non-story as two crucial trajectories in the embodied, experimental ethos of research writing today.
