Critical Autobiography and Painting Practice
In 2000 I completed a PhD in Creative practice (painting) which had a
contextualising thesis as part of the submission. My paintings at this time were
based upon issues of memory and the text presented a narrative of the
construction of the work but also examined how I was constructed by the work
(both through the painting and writing). The tension between the past and what
we make of it was central to my argument about the creative self in painting
and so the title of this conference is very apt to the issues I was (and still am)
dealing with both in my painting and writing. This writing also arose out of a
feminist desire to unearth, in the words of Janet Wolff, ‘buried selves’ and to
render visible the threads which connect experience and biography with
intellectual work (Wolff, 1994, p.15).
In this paper I will seek to address what theoretical and methodological
issues I adopted in my Creative Practice PhD. In my thesis I established a
triangulated research model of Self/Painting Practice/Social Practice. The first
part of this paper will set out the model and the second part will develop it in
relation to the production, intentions and form of the paintings themselves. A
version of this paper was published in the Journal of Visual Art Practice Vol.1,

Digital and Other Virtualities : Renegotiating the Image
"If virtuality is being celebrated as heralding a radically new era, rich with new possibilities and futures hitherto unimagined through cybernetics, networking and digitalizaton, such claims are also being viewed with deep scepticism and countered by renewed interest in the groundedness and referentiality of the indexical. Because of digital virtualities in the production of images, the concept of the index becomes relevant precisely in a digital world, as relations between signs, objects, references and bodies become the focus of sometimes anguished and sometimes enthralled critical rethinking. In this transdisciplinary book, major artists, filmmakers, film theorists, philosophers, literary critics, information theorists and cultural analysts examine the twists and turns of the contesting terms of virtuality and indexicality in contemporary cultural theory in relation to history, trauma, sexuality, textuality, anxiety, simulated lives, code, digital cinema, science fiction, and contemporary art." -- p.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
