NEW RESEARCH TRAINING INITIATIVE (RTI) WEBSITE

http://www.biad.uce.ac.uk/research/rti/

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 TRADITIONS? IN A (POST)MODERN BALINESE-INDONESIAN
CONTEXT ? LAURA NOSZLOPY
http://www.biad.uce.ac.uk/research/rti/riadm/
Ogoh-ogoh are giant papier-mache 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 Year? or ?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 ?dissolve? history 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:

- Book, website and conference reviews
- Submissions to Research Issues
- Completed research degree case studies

Supervisors responsible for research training and doctoral programmes are
also encouraged to enter details into the database facility on the website.
