UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE
DUNCAN OF JORDANSTONE COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN
Post based at British Artists’ Film and Video Study Collection
Central St Martins, UAL, in central London
POST DOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSISTANT ON THE AHRC FUNDED RESEARCH PROJECT:
Fixed Term Post for Two years starting June 2007
Starting salary is currently £ 26,666 (Grade 7, Spinal Point 30)
Through the review of practice, concomitant theories, and interviews with
selected artists and
historians the research will aim to establish a working theoretical
definition of narrative as it applies
to the field of historical expanded cinema and new forms of interactive
cinema. Non-linear
cinematic languages emerging from artists’ exploration of interactive
technologies continue the
historical trajectory of expanded cinema and provide an imperative to
re-conceptualise the
dynamics of narrative and dramaturgy and its positioning within the
avant-garde. A two-year
position is available from June 2007 to deliver the relevant aspects of the
project, (including
theoretical and historical review), undertake field-work (including
interviews with artists, and
theorists), and contribute to the research outcomes. The Principal
Investigator for the project is Dr
Jackie Hatfield.
Applicants are sought from qualified PhDs with relevant experience, or from
other suitably
experienced and qualified individuals.
I
nformal enquiries can be made to Prof Stephen Partridge by e-mail
