Ämnesbeskrivning

Forskarutbildningsämnet scenisk gestaltning undersöker frågeställningar med relevans för scenkonsten, den konstnärliga forskningen och samhället i stort. Reflektion över den egna praktiken är ett viktigt redskap för kunskapsutveckling och förnyelse inom fältet. Utbildningen på forskarnivå inom ämnet vänder sig till scenkonstnärer inom skilda discipliner och genrer (inom exempelvis teater, musikdramatik, koreografi, dans eller performance).

Denna utlysning riktar sig mot scenkonstnärliga praktiker som undersöker de kritiska gränserna för vad till exempel teater, dans, musikdramatik eller performance är och kan vara. Det kan till exempel handla om att experimentera med publikkontraktet i barnteater, att undersöka koreografi som ett kollektivt sätt att skriva, eller om att problematisera kroppen som konstnärligt material inom performativa installationer. Utlysningen riktar sig också till scenkonstnärliga praktiker som prövar konstnärliga verk i vår tids nya offentligheter såväl inom som utanför konstens institutioner. Det kan exempelvis handla om en konstnärlig praktik som arbetar med avkolonisering av offentliga rum eller som utforskar hur digitala plattformar verkar på teknifieringen av människan samt tänjer på gränserna mellan verklighet och representation.

Kritisk och experimentell scenkonst har, under de senaste åren, genom nya former, metoder och institutionsskapande verkat för polyfona och kritiska samtal. Genom att undersöka konstens och scenkonstens villkor strävar den efter att verka för demokratiska rum där olika och ofta motsatta röster tillåts höras. Under senare år har även diskussionen om nya offentligheter, med bland annat sociala mediers ökade betydelse samt digitaliseringen av traditionella medier, fått en ny roll i ett hårdnande och alltmer segregerat samhällsklimat. Den digitala sfären har också återinfört diskussionen om värdet av den reella platsens betydelse för scenkonstens performativa och immersiva potential. De här samhällstransformationerna innebär också nya utmaningar och möjligheter för scenkonst som inriktar sig på att flytta fram positionerna i sitt experimenterande för att föra konsten framåt.

Arbetsuppgifter   

Utbildning på forskarnivå omfattar 240 högskolepoäng, vilket motsvarar fyra års heltidsstudier och leder fram till en doktorsexamen. Utbildningen består av en kursdel om 60 högskolepoäng samt en avhandlingsdel om 180 högskolepoäng. Kursdelen är dels organiserad genom obligatoriska baskurser, seminarier och konferenser i en forskarskola som drivs i samverkan med HDK-Valand inom Konstnärliga fakulteten vid Göteborgs universitet, dels genom ämnesspecifika kurser.

Som doktorand kommer du att ingå i kollegiet på scenområdet vid Högskolan för scen och musik och du förutsätts samverka med undervisningen på grund- och avancerad nivå. På samma sätt innebär ditt aktiva deltagande i forskningsmiljön vid såväl institutionen som fakulteten att du är fysiskt närvarande och deltar i det dagliga arbetet.

Doktorand med anställning som doktorand kan ha institutionstjänstgöring under sin doktorandutbildning. I de fall institution och doktorand kommer överens om institutionstjänstgöring ska den utformas så att den inte har en ogynnsam inverkan på utbildningen och får maximalt uppgå till 20 procent av heltid fördelat över studietiden. Doktorand som undervisar på grundnivå eller avancerad nivå ska ha genomgått kursen Behörighetsgivande högskolepedagogik 1: Baskurs (PIL101), alternativt motsvarande fakultetsspecifik kurs, senast ett år efter antagningsdatum. För doktorand som har annan pedagogisk utbildning eller andra högskolepedagogiska meriter kan en motsvarande bedömning göras. Högskolepedagogisk utbildning ska även erbjudas doktorander som inte ska undervisa på grundnivå eller avancerad nivå. Fakultetsstyrelsen ska besluta om den högskolepedagogiska utbildningen ska göras inom ramen för doktorandens institutionstjänstgöring eller utgöra en poängsatt del inom utbildningen.

Forskningsmiljön

Konstnärliga fakulteten vid Göteborgs universitet har under det senaste decenniet byggt upp en miljö där forskning och utbildning ges möjlighet att samverka, en miljö som tillåter såväl ämnes- och fakultetsöverskridande forskningsprojekt som projekt starkt inriktade på konstnärlig fördjupning. Doktorander möts regelbundet i tvärkonstnärliga forum såväl inom institutionen som på fakultetsnivå.
