>OUTLINE
>
>The national PARIP conference takes place between 11 and 14 September 2003
>at the University of Bristol. There will be places for 200 delegates and
>presentation opportunities by 60 of these.
>
>PARIP is now calling for proposals that address the 6 themes chosen
>collaboratively by the various PARIP communities throughout the UK:
>
>1.      'How does 'practice as research' problematize notions of 
>'professional'
>and 'academic' practices?'
>2.      What might be the various epistemologies of and knowledges 
>generated by
>practice as research?
>3.      What kinds of resourcing/plant/infrastructures are needed for practice
>as research?
>4.      What makes an instance of practice 'count' as research? Does 
>practice as
>research involve different methods as a result of its framing as research
>as distinct from 'pure' practice?
>5.      How might the multiple locations of practice-as-research knowledges be
>conceptualized and assessed/evaluated/judged? And who decides?
>6.      Must practice as research include some form of disseminable 
>'reflection'
>or is the practice in performance/screening contexts sufficient to stand as
>research outputs? What might be the role of documentation across media?
>
>
>The conference will build on the 2001 PARIP symposium to provide space for
>multi-modal presentations focused on specific practices and themes. In
>other words, the conference is intended to demonstrate that questions
>accruing around practice as research per se can be explored through
>specific performance practices - dance, film, TV, theatre, radio, digital
>arts, etc. - in addition to critical writing practices. Therefore, we
>particularly welcome submissions that propose to address the above themes
>across the range of performance practices, as well as through critical
>writing practices.
>
>CONFERENCE STRUCTURE
>
>The conference will comprise a mix of keynotes and extended workshops that
>are intended to provide every delegate with the opportunity to explore in
>depth each of the six themes. Performances / screenings / demonstrations /
>papers will be embedded within the workshop structure. Each workshop will
>be comprised of 3 elements: a 45-minute-long performance / screening /
>demonstration by an individual or group; a 15-minute-long performance /
>screening / demonstration / paper by an individual or group; and an
>hour-long discussion. PARIP regional fora are organizing a number of
>sessions.
>
>Delegates will also be assigned (on an alphabetical basis) to a discussion
>group of approximately 30 participants. These groups will meet each
>afternoon to discuss the workshops attended by individuals in the group in
>order to develop key themes to be fed back to the plenary discussion hours
>at the end of each day. By the close of the conference it is anticipated
>that these groups will have identified a number of points of action which
>may be taken forward by PARIP.
>
>Evening performance/screening events are also being organized to inspire
>further discussion and collaboration. There will also be ample time to
>socialize, with a planned conference dinner and other gatherings.
>
>PROCESS OF SUBMISSION, EVALUATION AND ACCEPTANCE
>
>We invite you to send us proposals in a range of media - from 2 sides of
>written text on A4 paper to still images, audio recordings, short videos,
>CD/DVDs, websites or other multi-media. People presenting should be working
>in a UK context. Please indicate whether you or your group propose a long
>(45-minute) or short (15-minute) presentation. Please contextualize your
>presentation in terms of the thematic structure of the conference and
>indicate to which media/disciplines your practices make reference.
>
>The deadline for submission is 31 January 2003.
>
>Submissions will be assessed by the inter-institutional PARIP Advisory
>Group according to three main criteria:
>
>1.      Relation between submission and conference themes
>2.      Diversity of practices in relation to the field of submissions as 
>a whole
>3.      Consideration will also be given to ensuring that there is a working
>balance among: relative seniority of artist-scholars; regions; practices;
>and other differences/abilities
>
>
>While PARIP asks that presentations address and extend the themes
>identified, it is also keen to facilitate the wide range of practices that
>take place in the UK under the umbrella term 'practice as research'.
>Therefore, PARIP will consider proposals outside of its core disciplines of
>theatre, dance, film and television.
>
>Feedback from the Advisory Group will be made available wherever possible.
>Successful participants will be informed by 31 March 2003.
>
>Please send all proposals by 31 January 2003 to:
