N2 - The creative act is often thought of as an individual, even
lonely, one: the inspiration in the bath, the artist isolated in the garret. The research student has to demonstrate that they found new knowledge and that it was “all their own work”. But how often are these individual acts a realistic model of the creative process? Even if inspiration does come in the bath, how many conversations had taken place before that moment? How much time has the “lonely” artist spent in
cafes arguing with other artists about their work? If
individual research is so important why do we advise a good
student to join a successful research department?
