Key words
Objectives
Students create their own reflexive space within the Master’s programme by following theoretical seminars, participating in discussion platforms and reporting on the progress of their Master’s project.
At the same time, students also achieve this by means of a discursive, linguistic investigation resulting in a written thesis.
This thesis must confirm the student’s ability to conduct and report on a discursive investigation with a certain degree of independence.
Topics
Students write a thesis of at least 10.000 words, in which the initial problem, the development of the theme and final conclusions are all made clear.
Students must be able to convince their advisors that the subject matter, which students are free to choose for themselves, is related to their degree project or the students’ artistic investigation in general.
Students may decide whether or not their thesis is partly or entirely about their own work.
Prerequisites
Students must have successfully completed the ‘Theory and Philosophy 1.2.’ (including the section on research methodology) segment of the Master’s programme.
It is advisable that students have acquired the final competencies of the theoretical programme segments of the Bachelor’s programme in visual or audiovisual arts.
Final Objectives
- Students select and follow well-grounded, defensible methods and techniques in analyzing and researching a given theme within the visual or audiovisual arts.
- Students demonstrate scientific thinking about a complex question and are able to communicate their thoughts, research and conclusions about that issue in written form.
- Through written communication, students make an original contribution to knowledge about a specific topic in a given field.
- Students indicate in what way a discursive investigation can offer added value to their own artistic process.
