>The RTI website is an online resource for postgraduate research students 
>and supervisors in art, design, media and related areas of 
>study.  Following a successful Teaching and Learning Project bid to the 
>Art, Design and Communication - Learning and Teaching Support Network 
>(ADC-LTSN) the website has been re-designed.  The new site now integrates 
>existing and new content in three main sections:
>
>The Research Training Resource Centre
>Includes reviews of books, conferences and websites, and a database of 
>research training and doctoral programmes and courses.  It also includes 
>an updated bibliography on research education and training.
>
>Research Issues in Art, Design and Media
>An online series published three times a years.  Research Issues publishes 
>overviews of new and emerging themes and research topics, reflections on 
>the process of research, reviews of particular research methods or 
>techniques, and discussions of current issues in art, design and media research
>
>Issue No.4: Tracking new traditionsin a (post)modern Balinese-Indonesian 
>context - Laura Noszlopy

>Ogoh-ogoh are giant papier-mâché puppets or effigies usually created by 
>groups of young Balinese men as part of the annual cleansing 
>ceremonies(ngrupukan), which take place on the night preceding Nyepi, the 
>Hindu-Balinese New Yearor Day of Silence. While ngrupukan has been 
>performed for generations, ogoh-ogoh, one of the defining features of the 
>contemporary rites and discussed by many local practitioners in terms of 
>tradition, were only introduced in the early 1980s. This essay tracks the 
>difficulties of researching contemporary cultural and artistic innovations 
>in a context where the notion of tradition, as a culturally legitimising 
>trope, can sometimes dissolvehistory in public discourse, both official 
>and popular.
>
>The Research Degree Case Studies
>21 case studies of completed research degrees in art and design.
>
>CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
>
>We welcome contributions to the website from supervisors, researchers and 
>research students:

>Supervisors responsible for research training and doctoral programmes are
