Attuning to archival affects through arts practice research

This presentation allows us to reflect on and discuss the possibilities and particularities of arts based research where the modes of embodied, affective inquiry come to the fore and both challenge and extend existing epistemologies (based primarily on discursive practices and controls). Performance imaginaries and embodied practices offer other modes of engagement and response which dream with the archive and its absences. In dialogue with material and posthuman feminist scholarship, we can consider together the ways in which we make and circulate knowledge within our education systems and embodied experiences.
