Theatricality and Interrelations Between Art, Film and Theatre

相关艺术的学术研究-特别是艺术，电影和戏剧-几乎没有出现，即使这些领域在过去120年中以多种方式相互作用。在实践领域，随着艺术家从事电影制作事业，电影在画廊展出，戏剧作品在电影院放映，这些艺术之间的界限越来越模糊。简而言之，虽然艺术本身已经融合，但这些领域的学术研究仍然顽固地局限于特定学科：艺术史学家很少与电影学者讨论他们的研究，而反过来，这些学者都不倾向于与戏剧研究的学者进行任何程度的互动。因此，拟议的网络旨在探索和确定这些学科之间的学术分工的程度。此外，该网络还旨在促进关于艺术研究资助、艺术实践和艺术研究范式的政策辩论的讨论。该项目这一方面的目的是确定不同领域之间交叉资助的程度-也就是说，确定可以为跨越艺术、电影和戏剧学科界限的项目寻求资助的程度，最后，该项目还旨在提醒广大公众注意这些问题。通过举办两次公开研讨会/圆桌讨论会，并通过在网上发布这些活动的编辑视频，预计这些问题将获得一定的公众知名度;也就是说，该项目的目标和影响远远超出了学术界的界限。该项目的主要研究目的是就艺术，电影和戏剧领域之间的相互关系展开多学科讨论。该网络旨在通过突出一个理论框架来解决这些领域缺乏多学科研究的问题，该理论框架将使这些不同的艺术能够以试图打破它们之间障碍的方式进行研究和调查。围绕这个多学科的调查将集中的术语是戏剧性。戏剧性是一个在理论上被用于艺术、电影和戏剧各个学科的术语，因此成为一个术语，通过这个术语，这些领域可以相互对话。因此，拟议的网络有助于激发新的辩论，并促进对艺术、电影和戏剧领域之间相互关系的理解。除了开启，并在某种程度上，建立，艺术-电影-戏剧之间的相互关系的认真讨论，该网络有可能从根本上改变地形上的“艺术”被认为是在三个方面：（a）在学术研究方面;（B）在公众对艺术的看法;（c）在艺术政策和资金方面。有鉴于此，该网络将与艺术工作者和政策机构（如：艺术理事会）。总体而言，该网络旨在影响政策辩论，艺术研究的学术资助，更广泛的艺术研究范式，以及公众对艺术-电影-戏剧领域之间相互关系的看法。该网络的总部位于兰开斯特大学的兰开斯特当代艺术研究所（LICA）。对拟议的网络至关重要的三个关键主题-艺术-电影-都设在LICA。该网络将以LICA的几位学者的投入为特色：Richard Rushton（PI;电影专家），Andrew Quick教授（Co-I;剧院），Christopher Frayling教授爵士（电影），Beth Harland教授（美术）等。LICA的成立是基于一个以跨学科和多学科方式探索艺术之间关系的方案。

The academic study of the interrelated arts - specifically those of Art, Film and Theatre - has barely emerged, even as these domains have interacted in many ways over the past 120 years. In the realm of practice, more recently there has been an increased blurring of the boundaries between these arts, as artists pursue filmmaking careers, films are exhibited in gallery spaces, and theatre productions are screened in cinema theatres. In short, while the arts themselves have converged, academic research in these domains remains stubbornly discipline-specific: Art historians rarely discuss their research with Film scholars, while, in turn, neither of these sets of scholars tends to interact to any great degree with academics in Theatre Studies. The proposed network thus aims to explore and determine the extent of the academic divisions between these disciplines. Furthermore, the network also aims to promote a discussion on policy debates relating to the funding of arts research, arts practice, and research paradigms in the arts more generally. The aim of this aspect of the project is to determine the extent to which there is cross-funding between different fields - that is, to determine the extent to which funding can be sought for projects that cross the disciplinary boundaries between Art, Film and Theatre.Finally, the project also aims to alert the wider public to such issues. By holding two public seminar / roundtable discussion, and by publishing edited videos of these events online, it is expected that some public visibility will be given to these issues; that is, the aims and impact of the project extends well beyond the boundaries of academia.The primary research purpose of the project is to initiate a multidisciplinary discussion on interrelations between the fields of Art, Film and Theatre. The network aims to address what it feels is the lack of multidisciplinary research across these areas by foregrounding a theoretical framework that will enable these varied arts to be researched and investigated in ways that attempt to break down the barriers between them. The term around which this multidisciplinary inquiry will focus is theatricality. Theatricality is a term that has been used theoretically across each of the disciplines of Art, Film and Theatre, and thus emerges as a term by means of which these fields can be brought into conversation with one another.The proposed network therefore serves to stimulate new debates and advance understanding of the interrelations between the fields of Art, Film and Theatre. In addition to opening out, and to some degree, founding, a serious discussion on the interrelations between Art-Film-Theatre, the network has the potential to radically alter the terrain on which the 'arts' are considered in three ways: (a) in terms of academic research; (b) in terms of public perceptions of the arts; and (c) in terms of arts policies and funding. With such aims in view, the network would engage with arts practitioners and policy bodies (eg. Arts Council). Overall, the network seeks to influence policy debates, academic funding of arts research, research paradigms in the arts more generally, as well as public perceptions of the interrelations between the fields of Art-Film-Theatre.The network's home is ideally situated at the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts (LICA) at Lancaster University. The three key subjects that are central to the proposed network - Art-Film-Theatre - are housed in LICA. The network will feature input from several scholars in LICA: Richard Rushton (PI; Film specialist), Prof Andrew Quick (Co-I; Theatre), Prof Sir Christopher Frayling (Film), Prof Beth Harland (Fine Art) and others. LICA was founded on a programme of exploring the relations between the arts in an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary way.
