CALLS FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Special issue of the journal p-e-r-f-o-r-m-a-n-c-e dedicated to Creative Research
http://www.p-e-r-f-o-r-m-a-n-c-e.org/?page_id=4698

Submission deadline: March 31st, 2020

Creative Research (also called Art Research) is a research area that has been expanding in the past few decades. However, it’s not always easy to clarify what this concept encompasses, because creative research approaches are very diverse. It is also sometimes difficult to have research in that field recognized by institutions. This is the reason why we decided to dedicate a special issue of the journal p-e-r-f-o-r-m-a-n-c-e to that topic. We welcome any academic, artistic, or hybrid contribution that will shine some light on this concept of creative research. Contributions should be sent as a word document (with links to audio and/or video files if any) to editor@p-e-r-f-o-r-m-a-n-c-e.org no later than March 31st, 2020.

p-e-r-f-o-r-m-a-n-c-e is a double-blind peer reviewed, online journal.… read more. “Call: Creative Research special issue of the journal p-e-r-f-o-r-m-a-n-c-e”
