D R . D AVID G AUTHIER
I am a media artist and Assistant Professor of Computational Media and Art in the Department of Media and Culture Studies. I originally come from Montréal and have been working and living in Europe for many years. I have a background in Mathematics, Media Arts and Sciences, and Cultural Analysis. My academic work mainly revolves around concepts and practices of computation. I am particularly interested in computational acts, the way machines and software are made to perform and execute. I find these acts fascinating, not only functionally in our daily lives but moreover when they are mobilised as expressions in the arts, which somehow challenge our age-old ways of sense making. My work as an artist is mainly sound oriented. I tend to stage encounters with materials that do not necessarily operate within the same lyrical register. My installations and performances typically comprise ritualistic and ceremonial forms where these encounters take hold. https://davidgauthier.info

THIS PROGRAMME
This Research Master's programme in Media, Art and Performance Studies is an interdisciplinary and internationally oriented research-based programme, which offers an advanced training in academic research skills appropriate to investigate today's highly dynamic and interdisciplinary field of media, visual arts and performance.
Contemporary media, art and performance increasingly play with, and transcend disciplinary boundaries. Intermedial and performative practices both produce and critically investigate cultural transitions in today’s mediatized and performative culture. Such synergies invite to explore how emerging forms of media, art and performance –while historically and culturally embedded - interact with and relate to social and cultural transformations. As a student of this programme, you will be introduced to, and specialise in new research areas and theories, necessary for investigating emerging media, performance and contemporary art forms within today's rapidly changing culture. In relation to this you will also reflect on the role of the Humanities in both academic and public debates.
Central concerns in this programme are, amongst others: the role and meaning of (visual) media in a mediatised society, inter- and transmedial practices in theatre, dance, film, television, digital media and visual arts; spectator- and usership, the performative turn in contemporary arts and media; technology, materiality and corporeal literacies; the digital turn in audio-visual heritage and art; game, play and (h)activism; changing institutions, mobile and/or location-based media, urban interfaces, navigational screen-based practices; art and media ecologies.
THIS PROGRAMME AND OUR SOCIETY
In this age of selfies, datafication, (self-)staging and re-staging, and playful learning, you will examine how various media, art forms, and performance have been used for critical analysis, civic engagement, entertainment and educational purposes. You will do this by asking how digital technologies, dramaturgical and artistic strategies alter ways of dealing with knowledge production and distribution, and how these transitions have contributed to, and ask for new methods and strategies of research.
We approach this broad field from a range of comparative and intermedial perspectives, focusing primarily on the dynamics of change and exchange between media, contemporary arts and performance within a culture and society in transition. In this programme, you will reflect on questions such as how media have developed from the times of early cinema up to current new media art; how the definition of 'live' has changed alongside these mediatised cultural forms. How has the performative turn changed the ways we think about audiences? How do media technologies facilitate new strategies of self-staging and social performance? What is the influence of media and technology in the way we curate and educate in museums, archives, schools and other cultural and educational institutions? How can practice-based research contribute to theory-based research?
LEARNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This Research Master will train you as a researcher within the field of Media, Art and Performance Studies, to either prepare you for a PhD position, or for research-oriented positions in professional contexts of cultural institutions such as archives, museums, art institutions, theatres, for education, (non-)governmental organisations, or in creative industries.
After completing the programme:
■ you have acquired knowledge of the history as well as the state of the art in media, visual art and performance practice and research, as well as insight in current public, academic and critical debates;
COURSE PLANNER: You will find more information on this programme’s courses in the Course Planner: https://cursusplanner.scien ce.uu.nl/english/study/MAMAPS-16
■ you know how to employ an intermedial and (historically-informed) comparative approach for studying emergent media, art and performance practices, and how to use and develop research methodologies related to this perspective;
■ you have the skills to critically investigate relations and transitions in the field of media, art and performance and are trained to communicate research outcomes to fellow researchers and other professionals, as well as to a general audience;
■ you are equipped with the advanced knowledge level and research skills necessary to participate in the academic and professional field;
■ you have the ability to effectively communicate theoretical insights that will contribute to the field, as well as having broader social and cultural relevance;
■ you are able to reflect upon the social and ethical implications of developments within the field of media, art and performance and contemporary humanities research.

You may also follow courses at other universities. For regulations about approval of courses outside of our programme, see https://students.uu.nl/en/hum/maps/practicalinformation/academic-policies-and-procedures. Before you register for courses elsewhere, first discuss your plans with your mentor or the programme coordinator.
3. Tutorials
Tutorials are course modules of 5EC, in which you work on an individual research topic or in collaboration with other students or researchers with supervision by a MAPS staff member. For research profiles and suggested topics for tutorials, see the bios of our staff members above. Preferably before registering and definitely before the course period start, you will approach the instructor you want to work with by email and check their availability to supervise you. In the first week of the course period you will develop your research plan and agree with your supervisor on the assignment – research paper, developed research proposal, conference paper, reading report, etc. – that will be graded at the end of the tutorial. This plan will be written down in the Tutorial Protocol, signed and archived by your supervisor. At the end of the tutorial, your supervisor fills out the Tutorial
Evaluation Form and submits this by sending it to programme coordinator Laura Karreman, who will register the grade.
You can take a maximum of one tutorial per academic year, which means 1 in total when going abroad (profile 3), and 2 in total when choosing profile 1 or 2.
Suggested tutorial topics are: Performance, Science and Technology; Performing Robots (Maaike Bleeker); Data/Culture (Karin van Es); Aesthetic Resilience (Marijke de Valck); The Sustainable Imaginary Today (Rick Dolphijn); Game Lab (Stefan Werning); Green Media, Games/VR for Change (Joost Raessens); Dance and embodied knowledge; motion capture and performance (Laura Karreman); Food Media (Eggo Mueller); Urban Interfaces; Spatiality/Temporality in Media, Art and/or Performance (Nanna Verhoeff); Continental Philosophy; The Work of Henri Bergson; New Materialism; The Work of Karen Barad (Iris van der Tuin).
INTERNSHIP
An internship in the RMA is a valuable addition to your training as a professional researcher. It allows you to experience working as an embedded researcher, either within academia, within a research institute or external research project, or in the context of an external professional organization or cultural institution. During the internship, you obtain the opportunity to develop your research skills in a professional (research) environment, to further develop your personal professional research identity, and reflect on your role as a researcher in relation to the (wider) professional field. A clear research component has to be the focus of the internship.
For more information, see; Internships - Media, Art and Performance Studies - Students UU
THESIS
Your programme will conclude with a thesis (30 EC) in which you apply the skills, knowledge and insights that you have acquired during the Research MA. In the thesis trajectory, you will conduct independent research and write an academic research thesis. The Research MA thesis is a scholarly research project that takes the form of a well- researched thesis project within the discipline of Media, Art and Performance Studies, written individually and on a relevant subject chosen by the student and agreed upon with the supervisor. For more information, see the MAPS student website: https://students.uu.nl/en/hum/maps/curriculum/masters- thesis
DO YOU WANT TO GET INVOLVED?
Curriculum committees are representative bodies comprised of both students and teaching staff. The committee is responsible for advising on the Education and Examination Regulations (EER) and its annual evaluation, for monitoring the quality of education and for addressing problems that might arise. They advise the Board of the study programme and the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities on all teaching-related matters.
Student opinion plays a key role in the tasks of the curriculum committees. Through programme evaluations and course evaluations, curriculum committees review academic matters. Half of the committee is comprised of students. Do not hesitate to contact the student representative of your programme if you have an issue that you think should be addressed.
The MAPS student representative for the curriculum committee for the year 2022-2023 is Olga Efremova. If there are any questions or concerns that you would like to bring to her attention, you can reach her via o.efremov@students.uu.nl. In the spring of 2023 we will be looking for a successor for this position. If you are a first-year MAPS student and you are interested in becoming the next student representative, please inform the programme coordinator about this.
