Digital Humanities (offered by the Moore Institute)
Applications are invited in the area of:
- Irish Literature, History and/ or Visual Cultures
Proposals may consider writers and artists associated with the west of Ireland,
in broad context; modernism; Irish and the English languages; candidates have
access to the cultural location and archival holdings of NUI Galway. Discipline is open.
Digital Arts (offered by the Huston School of Film & Digital Media)
Applications are invited in the areas of:
- Galway and the international-West coast culture in the digital age
or
- Digital media practice-based research.
Proposals may examine questions such as: how arts practices on the west coast of Ireland act as a contact zone between the local and the international? Ideas and histories of the region can be seen in relation to wider contexts as people move in and out of the rhetorics of authenticity. In what way do specific digital arts practices offer forms of resistance to the impositions of a global image system? How can research and experimentation explore the intersection between artistic creativity and technological innovation? What forms can writing take in the digital age? How has the specificity of the digital changed the form, structure and function of narrative? Although there would be emphasis on practice-based doctorates in both these areas we will continue to be open to traditional academic formats.
Entry requirements
Students will be selected by the Course Committee or by a sub-committee reporting to it. Entrants will be expected to have an upper second class honours degree (or better), or international equivalent, within a relevant discipline.
