The Biblical Perspective

As I will be using poetry which I have either written or will write, I cannot escape the personal approach which this research will have. However, I will attempt to be as impartial as possible so as to produce research is not purely centered on a biased Christian viewpoint, but an accurate scrutiny of God and gods.  
Research aside, throughout my life I have been somehow exposed to this constant need of humans to search for spirituality in one form or the other; something which exists yonder what we can touch, feel, see and understand in the physical. This statement becomes apparent when you read books, switch on the television and sometimes speaking to people; you will hear stories about magic, healers, diviners and those who have found this untapped acquaintance with God. 
Personal perspective aside, there has been enough research conducted, stories told and movies made, which is a suggestion that people have this yearning to search or at least ear about this God, gods myth or fact idea.

Poetic Analysis

One of the relevant literatures which I have come across was an article entitled: “Poetic Inquiry as a Research and Engagement Method in Natural Resource Science”, written by three authors. In the article there was a section which discussed Poetic Analysis and the process they had adopted for their own research.  What these researchers had done was to create poetry from their qualitative data so as to observe whether or not poetic analysis would result in a new perspective or understanding of ‘social-ecological dynamics’ in a given area, which they had previously analyzed in 2012 using ‘conventional qualitative coding analysis.  They had decided to approach the writing by using a singular transcript form their interviews with their respondent to create 27 poems, which comprised solely on the respondent’s own words, mainly focusing on words which had best articulated meaning most relevant to their chosen theme. These words were then rearranged into order to create the p...

Reflection

In my B.Tech studies, I had played down the groundwork for what I had hoped to further explore for further work, that is Interart translation. I am still very much interested in the concept of using using two art mediums in order to narrate one singular narrative thought, as I do not feel that there was room still left to explored in terms of execution. My initial thought was to once more deal with feminine issues and use the body of work as an extension of some of the topics which were related to my previous work. This was especially motivated by the recent events which had taken place throughout the year, which led to the rape and death of several women and girls in South Africa. So I had proposed to myself that I would base my narrative on rape. It was not just a relevant topic, but one which sparked a lot of discussion. However I have since decided to take a different narrative approach, by keeping it personal and using the Bible as a narrative basis.

Poetry as a Medium for Interdisciplinary Collaboration

In my B.Tech work I had explored the idea of using two interdisciplinary art forms in order to depict/ translate my chosen bridal narrative. I had focused my attention specifically on artists who had applied the same concepts such as Erismann, who had done so through collaboration with other arts.  In a report I recently came across I found an example of Interdisciplinary Collaboration which occurred between poets and scientist in order to experiment with poetic inquiry within the science field. This involved the exploration between of the differences, similarities and incompatibilities which existed between the two fields (María E. Fernández-Giménez, 2018); this will be something I would also have to take into consideration when conducting my own research using poetry and jewellery as my bases for inquiry into my theme.
