Social Contracting with Sarah Tripp
No full textThis online presentation about ‘social contracting’ was delivered for the research group Decentring Through Digitality (DTD). DTD was founded by Josie Cockram from Falmouth University and Dr Sarah Tripp. DTD meet monthly online and provide a space to experiment and test anti-oppressive pedagogies in online spaces, as well as to offer and receive peer review. Drawing on the principles of commoning, DTD share resources and experiences to support the growth of an ambitions practice-led research-base – and a dynamic ethics of practice – for art education online. ‘Social contracting’ was presented in this context as a method of establishing transparency and relational ethics within a group of people who intend to work together on a longer-term participatory, collaborative, community or research project.
Within this online social contracting session, the DTD participants formed a social contract (in order to learn how to create social contracts for community based research projects and to enhance the building of cohorts. Contracting (or social contracting) is a process shared by a group who plan to work together. With a facilitator, the group establish guidelines for how they can work respectfully and inclusively. Once the guidelines have been transcribed on the whiteboard, by the facilitator, the group sign the whiteboard to make a commitment to working in this way. Contracting is an ongoing process which can be revisited as the group grows and changes through a participatory or community led project. Tripp presented her knowledge and experiences of ‘social contracting’ at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop, Collective’s Satellites Programme (Edinburgh) and Intermedia (Glasgow). Tripp reflected on the differences of ‘social contracting’ with community groups and groups of students. Tripp has facilitated contracting with groups of postgraduate students, PhD candidates and artists and craftspeople working in shared studios. Tripp described the origins of contracting within the training of counsellors as part of an Introduction to Listening Skills Course run by COSCA. Within this setting, contracting was used to establish guidelines for group practice of active listening where confidentiality is essential to learning
The 'true use of reading' : Sarah Fielding and mid eighteenth-century literary strategies.
No full textPhDThe aim of this thesis is to explore, by examining her life and
works, how Sarah Fielding (1710-68) established her identity as an author.
The definition of her role involves her notions of the functions of
writing and reading.
Sarah Fielding attempts to invite readers to form a sense of ties
by tacit understanding of her messages. As she believes that a work
of literature is produced through collaboration between the writer and
the reader, it is an important task in her view to show her attentiveness
toward reading practice. In her consideration of reading, she has two
distinct, even opposite views of her audience: on the one hand a familiar
and limited circle of readers with shared moral and cultural values and
on the other potential readers among the unknown mass of people. The
dual targets direct her to devise various strategies. She tries to
appeal to those who can endorse and appreciate her moral values as well
as her learning. Her writings and letters testify that she is sensitive
to the demands of the literary market, trying to lead the taste of readers
by inventing new forms.
The thesis opens with an overview of Sarah Fielding's career,
followed by a consideration of her critical attention to the roles of
reading. I go on to examine the narrative structures and strategies
she deploys, with a particular emphasis on her use of the epistolary
method. The following chapter deals with her attention to the reading
of the moral message tangibly embodied in her educational writing. It
is followed by an analysis of the activity which earned her a reputation
as a learned woman. Various as the forms of her works are, they invariably
reflect her attempt to balance herself between the two demands of
inventiveness and familiarity

Sarah Fielding: Satire and Subversion in the Eighteenth-Century Novel
No full textThis study of Sarah Fielding (1710―68) is an original contribution to Fielding scholarship that has a dual purpose: to support those who are striving to re-introduce her to the modern literary landscape in an effort to restore her eighteenth-century literary standing, and to firmly establish Fielding as an early feminist writer. It is argued here that throughout her oeuvre Fielding challenged prevailing traditions that denied women a choice, particularly in education, employment and marriage. These themes are also considered in the political treatises of Mary Astell (1666―1731) and Mary Wollstonecraft (1759―97), who are now widely recognised as feminist writers.
It is further argued that Fielding’s subversion in fiction of the English patriarchal system is underscored by her unorthodox performance in the literary arena. This is fully explored alongside her use of sentimentalism as a literary tool with which she challenges her seemingly inhumane society. Fielding’s interest in ‘the Labyrinths of the Mind’ (in modern terms, human psychology) will also be addressed as will her placement in the history of feminism and her placement in the sentimental novel tradition. Fielding’s performance as a literary critic will be compared with the few female authors who, like her, dared to publish literary criticism during her writing career. Accordingly, extracts from Fielding’s novels and her two critical pamphlets will be thoroughly examined.
An updated biography of Fielding that is also included here will provide evidence for a further claim, that her fiction is autobiographical in part. A comprehensive account of Fielding’s performance as a literary critic forms the final chapter of this work. It is the first full-length examination of her contribution to the genre and includes an appraisal of her recently unearthed critical pamphlet entitled A Comparison Between the Horace of Corneille and The Roman Father of Mr. Whitehead (1750) that is yet to be formerly attributed to her. Ultimately this study of Fielding will go far beyond what has previously been written about this remarkable eighteenth-century author, particularly regarding her feminist activity

Youth Administrator
No full textFor the group exhibition ‘Dr Sinclair’s Drawer’, Sarah Tripp invoked an absent Administrator in the functioning office within Flat Time House (London). The art work produced by Tripp, titled ‘Youth Administrator’, consisted of the site specific installation of a looped HD video and a holographic foil blocked onto a digital print.
The fictional character of the Administrator was invoked within Flat Time House: which was a residence for, and is an artwork by the renound British artist John Latham. John Latham’s house provided the physical and conceptual context for this group exhibition.
The Youth Administrator’s hands were projected in miniature on the corner of the desk within the functioning office space and the words ‘Thank You’ were reversed, debossed in holographic foil and hung on the office wall. As the projection looped, the accompanying voice-over observed the character of the Administrator emerge through a small act of theft.
‘Dr Sinclair’s Drawer’ was curated by Flat Time House (London) and Book Works (London). The exhibition was accompanied by a publication featuring writing by the exhibitors and published by Book Works and Flat Time House. A limited edition of the foil blocked holographic prints is available from Book Works
Listening to Strangers
No full text‘Listening to Strangers’ is a performance devised and performed by Sarah Tripp. This performance was commissioned by the Centre for Contemporary Arts (Glasgow) for their performance strand ‘Eavesdropper’ and supported by Outset Scotland.
‘Listening to Strangers’ presents a series of artworks made by borrowing strangers’ workspaces, tools and materials. By inhabiting a stranger’s workplace the practice of the absent maker becomes embodied in an artwork made with whatever is to hand.
This spoken word and moving image performance brought together three shorter pieces: ‘7 Strangers’, ‘5 Studies of Practice’ and ‘Practicing’. Observations of strangers were combined with studies of ‘magpie’ practice (using a stranger’s practice as the nest in which to raise artworks) to evoke a creative process which is concerned with relational challenges rather than the pursuit of originality.
‘Listening to Strangers’ was subsequently performed for the Sandberg Institute at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam on 16 February 2016
