http://www.coventry.ac.uk/research/research-students/research-studentships/phd-studentships-in-art-design-media-and-performance/

In addition to more mainstream and theoretical approaches, research
projects may be practice-based where appropriate. They will be pursued
within or across our broad research areas of media, creative arts,
performing arts, and industrial/transport/3D design,. We are
particularly interested in:

Digital Media - specifically, the development of a critical Digital
Humanities that explores how open access, open education, open data, p2p
networks or ‘internet piracy’ can be used to creatively disrupt core
arts and humanities concepts such as the author, subjectivity,
originality, the book, the archive, ownership, copyright and the
(post)human.

The topic is part of a larger critical and creative investigation in the
school into Disruptive Media (http://disruptivemedia.org.uk/) and Open
Media (http://openmediaclasses.covmedia.co.uk/?page_id=273). As such,
the successful candidate will be part of a team of researchers, Research
Fellows and PhD students with many contacts in the UK and
internationally through their work on projects such as Culture Machine
(http://www.culturemachine.net/), Open Humanities Press
(http://openhumanitiespress.org/), Living Books About Life
(http://www.livingbooksaboutlife.org/) and Disrupting the Humanities
(http://disruptivemedia.org.uk/wiki/).

Candidate specification:
A good honours degree, and ideally an MA, in an appropriate digital
media-related subject.
