Creative-Critical Practices: Writing, Reading & Making Theory Symposium

Blurring the lines between art and scholarship, creative-critical practices
combine imaginative production with theoretical analysis and reflection.
The creative process itself becomes a method of research, discovery
and meaning-making, extending and transforming critical theories. By
inhabiting a space between established genres and methodologies,
creative-critical practitioners generate hybrid works that provoke new
ways of seeing, understanding and engaging with the world.

This one-day in-person and online symposium invites PGRs to explore
the intersection of creative and critical approaches in theory-making.
The event aims to foster an inclusive and welcoming environment that
promotes non-traditional methodologies and playful engagements with theoretical concepts. There will be a keynote, three panels and one 'open converation', with papers ranging in subject from queer heterotopias, Irigarian Love, multilingual Writing, Greek Tragedy, and more!

The event will take place at Humanities Research Space I.H020, University of Bristol and will also be accessible online for those unable to attend in person. Lunch, tea and coffee will be provided. Schedule is as follows:
