Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis is a practice-based investigation into the mutual coming into being of artist
and artwork within the process of signification as described by Julia Kristeva. The
investigation is done from an unstable subjective position and requires innovative
research methodologies and a sustained close connection with the practice in order to
accommodate the complexity inherent to the process. The exploration involves a closer
look at the process of making of the work, the possible meaning embedded in the
artworks and the impact on the maker of the work. The situated knowledge acquired
through the praxis provides new insight supported by the theories of Julia Kristeva and
others. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis is ’n praktykgebaseerde ondersoek na die wedersydse totstandkoming van
kunstenaar en kunswerk binne die proses van signifikasie soos beskryf deur Julia
Kristeva. Die ondersoek word gedoen vanuit ’n onstabiele subjektiewe posisie en vereis
innoverende navorsingsmetodologieë en ’n volgehoue nóú verbintenis met die praktyk
om voorsiening te maak vir die kompleksiteit inherent aan die proses. Die ontleding
behels ’n verkenning van die werksproses, die moontlike betekenis verskuil binne die
kunswerke en die impak op die maker van die werk. Die gesitueerde kennis wat uit die
praxis voortspruit verskaf nuwe insigte, gesteun deur die teorieë van Julia Kristeva en
ander.
