| Summary: | Published as Screen Production Research,the subtitle of Craig Batty and Susan Kerrigan’s edited collection, Creative Practice as a Mode of Enquiry, is perhaps a more apt and accurate category for many of the essays which start from specific film projects, although publishers are often concerned about the first key words of any title as apparently books are generally purchased as a result of Google searches nowadays.
The volume addresses the form and function of film-related, practice-based research in the tertiary institutions of Anglophone education systems at this time. The evolution of the phenomenon of practice-based doctoral research in many colleges has begun to open the highest level of formal academic degrees to the more unpredictable interaction between art work and written text. The general aspiration to settle practice-based work neatly into the defined parameters of research in higher education involves the subordination or suppression of aspects of the components of artistic practice that are less compatible with the strictures by which PhDs are traditionally produced and awarded.
