Repositioning the graphic designer as researcher
No full textIn academic terms, the discipline of graphic design is relatively young. Consequently the position of the discipline within academic territory, and the role of the designer, continue to be debated. In part, these debates have been a product of attempts to define and defend the discipline’s borders from within, in order to establish a sense of the role of graphic design and the graphic designer as commensurate with other disciplines both within and beyond art and design. In recent years graphic designers have variously been defined as ‘authors’, ‘producers’ and ‘readers’, yet none of these definitions seem to have provided any kind of productive or lasting impact within the academy. This paper suggests that rather than continue to seek territorial definitions and positions from within, it could be more productive to look beyond the confines of the discipline. Gaining a broader, interdisciplinary perspective on, and understanding of, qualitative research methods from other disciplines may enable the graphic designer to more fully position his or her practice within the wider academy. Such a perspective could help facilitate the repositioning and redefinition of the graphic designer as ‘researcher’ - a move that would be productive in relation to the future development of postgraduate research within the discipline

Fictive elements within the autobiographical project : necessary conflation of genres in Nightwood by Djuna Barnes
No full textThis study examines a woman?s attempt to come to terms with her own life and
the relationship that most defined and influenced that life. In Nightwood, Djuna
Barnes rejects conventional linear narrative structure in favor of Modernist
experimentation with literary forms to tell the true story of her ruined love affair.
In the book, she uses fictive devices which allow her not only to create an
artistically compelling narrative, but also to reveal a more experientially accurate
account of her relationship with Thelma Wood. Based on a close reading of
Nightwood, both the published version and the original unexpurgated version, as
well as interpretation of autobiographical and psychological criticism, this study
explores Barnes?s conflation of the genres of autobiography and fiction. The first
section explains the background of Barnes?s life and the effect of her traumatic
childhood and her doomed love affair on the text. The next section establishes
Nightwood as an authentically autobiographical project despite the author?s
experimentation with narrative form and textual construction via the inclusion of
fictional elements. The final section examines not only how Barnes uses specific
fictive devices in the text, but also her authorial motives for their inclusion. This
examination proves the thesis that Barnes?s use of fiction within autobiography
serves to textually capture the emotional and psychological truth of the loss of
her beloved and communicate her lived experience of that loss to the reader
more effectively than more traditional forms of autobiographical writing
