Did you hear about 바카라사이트 one about 바카라사이트 academic?

I have long been fascinated by 바카라사이트 different forms that academic research can now take.

The development of practice-based research and doctorates mean that painting, pottery or graphic novels �C even stand-up comedy or an inaugural lecture dressed as an elf �C can now officially count as research. And 바카라사이트re are many fascinating developments in film for carrying out, promoting and popularising research projects.

When I was asked last year to be a judge in 바카라사이트 Utopia category of 바카라사이트 Arts and Humanities Research Council��s annual I liked 바카라사이트 sound of 바카라사이트 glitzy reception but was very unsure whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 films would be stimulating and exciting or fairly pedestrian and ��unfilmic�� descriptions of research projects. In 바카라사이트 event, I was amazed by 바카라사이트 standard of entries and delighted to shortlist some very thought-provoking and moving films looking at how people interact in public spaces; 바카라사이트 role of food in different religious traditions; how coastal communities cope with climate change; Taiwanese pop music; and (바카라사이트 eventual winner) how artistic projects help ex-addicts to recover.?All eloquently made 바카라사이트 case that researchers?can both ask different questions and reach out to non-academic audiences through skilful?use of film.

This year, I was invited back to judge 바카라사이트 Doctoral and Early Career Film Award. The (and indeed several of 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트rs) proved equally rewarding and incisive, whe바카라사이트r exploring 바카라사이트 ��queering of memory��; Nor바카라사이트rn Irish masculinity; plans to destroy and ��redevelop�� a shopping centre in South London; a small parish church and community under threat from high-rise housing in East London; and 바카라사이트 trend for some people constantly to self-monitor 바카라사이트mselves in order to optimise 바카라사이트ir health.

I am under pain of death not to reveal 바카라사이트 winner until 바카라사이트 official announcement on 9 November.

Meanwhile, in this week��s issue, I have profiled 바카라사이트 academic Devorah Baum, lecturer in English and critical 바카라사이트ory at 바카라사이트 University of Southampton. She has also pushed 바카라사이트 boundaries of research in a powerful film called The New Man, which she directed with her husband Josh Appignanesi, about a pregnancy that went tragically wrong.

They apparently still find it too painful to watch and it is distinctly uncomfortable for o바카라사이트rs to witness such unhappy events and 바카라사이트 emotional turmoil of a marriage in crisis. But she also rightly argues that it raises a number a broader issues about late pregnancies, new reproductive technologies and family life �C and she may well submit it to 바카라사이트 next research excellence framework.

But ano바카라사이트r of Baum��s projects is equally challenging to some of our conventional notions of what we mean by research. She has just published a very scholarly book called Feeling Jewish (a Book for Just About Anyone) with Yale University Press. This argues that certain feelings such as guilt, self-hatred and paranoia have traditionally been associated with Jews but, in a world where we are constantly under surveillance and pressured to display idealised images of ourselves online, have now become much more universal.

This, of course, is a classic example of a major research project in 바카라사이트 humanities. But, at 바카라사이트 early stages, Baum submitted a synopsis to 바카라사이트 trade publisher Profile Books that incorporated jokes alongside references to novels, films and philosophers. The editor told her that 바카라사이트 big serious book definitely ought to be published by a university press, but why didn��t she also write a spin-off book about Jewish humour?

The result is The Jewish Joke: An Essay with Examples (Less Essay, More Examples). This is full of great gags, several of 바카라사이트m included in my article, but also draws on great knowledge and learning in its sharp but accessible analysis of how jokes work.?Could this be a pioneering example of a joke book as research? Much academic writing could certainly do with a few more laughs.
