Project Summary
My fine arts training during my childhood, youth, and later at the University of the Arts London, reflects my research interests. For example, my MA dissertation title was: Exploring critical issues in the translation of a specialised text within Western art theories and histories from the standpoint of semantic, syntactic and functional grammar.
Following a linguistic approach, my research interests extend to textual contexts within the social, historical and political fields. Applying a sociological approach to political ideology and regime, my interdisciplinary doctoral project merges textual and image analysis, to explore the phenomena behind the textual conflict and collision of the interpretation of an artist and their art.
