How to Make Art at the End of the World

In recent years, the rise of research-creationa scholarly activity that considers art practices as research methods in their own righthas emerged from the organic convergences of the arts and interdisciplinary humanities, and it has been fostered by universities wishing to enhance their public profiles. In How to Make Art at the End of the World Natalie Loveless draws on diverse perspectivesfrom feminist science studies to psychoanalytic theory, as well as her own experience advising undergraduate and graduate studentsto argue for research-creation as both a means to produce innovative scholarship and a way to transform pedagogy and research within the contemporary neoliberal university. Championing experimental, artistically driven methods of teaching, researching, and publication, research-creation works to render daily life in the academy more pedagogically, politically, and affectively sustainable, as well as more responsive to issues of social and ecological justice.
