[Commlist] Creative Practice Research in the Age of Neoliberal Hopelessness

Agnieszka Piotrowska is delighted and proud to announce the publication 
of this special volume which is the editor of and which is entitled 
*/Creative Practice Research in the Age of Neoliberal Hopelessness 
/*(with the EUP*/)/*. We explore how creativity can contribute to 
knowledge and how we combine ‘high’ theory with our practice. We also 
suggest that subjectivity and intertextuality through creativity can 
offer ways of resistance to the neoliberal ideology in the academy and 
to the rigid vertical ways of thinking about scholarship. The book is 
dedicated to the memory of the late Professor Elsaesser who also 
contributed one of his last written pieces here – and this one is indeed 
about his own creative practice, his film /The Sun Island/.

Diverse voices of leading scholar practitioners and scholars who have 
contributed to this unique volume and they are *Tunde Alabi –Hundeyin, 
**Eylem Atakav,  Jenny Barrett, William Brown, Warren Buckland, Tony 
Clancy, Jill Daniels, Bruce Eadie, Thomas Elsaesser, Rosa Fong, 
Catherine Grant, Roberta Mock, Nariman Massoumi,****Isabelle Starkier, 
Kiki Tiannqi Yu, Mischa Twitchin, Alexis Weedon, Rachel Velody*and of 
course myself.

Our early reviews and endorsements from some of the most important 
scholars in the world call the book ‘trailblazing’ and I do believe it is.
