'Practice Research'

Practice Research is the term used by today's guest speaker Stefanos Pavlakis to frame the work undertaken during his PhD study. The presentation covered many areas and included History Remix “… an audio walk, an audio play about migrant labor and its impact on the City of Munich; it is an audio play that brings together memories, photographic material, anecdotes and literature on the so called Guest Worker”.

Stefanos gave his definition of research as -
a word with shifting meanings / a secondary activity: working through something (already existing) / creating - researching - collecting - producing
and highlighted Foucault's "an attempt to trace and make visible discontinuities"
