In academia there is a ‘truth commitment’ thank you Jim Elkins that perfectly expresses my ongoing problem with academia…..great interview.<\/p>\n

Yeah, really! That’s academia for you,\u00a0 because there’s a truth commitment, you know . . . I didn’t used to think of people in the humanities quite that way, I thought maybe scientists would be that way.<\/h4>\n

James Elkins is talking about the Humanities requiring ‘truth’ in a scientific way in creative matters. This increasingly the problem with fine art and creative writing degrees they require forms of ‘justification’ and ‘explication’ to warrant validity in REF terms…..<\/p>\n

The article also discusses the ‘photo-embedded novel’ or as Elkins calls it\u00a0 ‘Writing with Images’.<\/p>\n
