There isn't much information on the subject because it is a highly contentious area of academia. There are so many ways one can integrate the two (theory & prac). In the end only you can choose a relationship that best suits your research (your method) and your intuitive investigative style. Here is the way I've integrated my creative work with my thesis: <blockquote>There are two stages in which the creative work is present during the research: during development of the narrative model and during the testing of it. The role of the creative work during the development of the narrative schema is to: a) Identify limitations of current narrative grammars, the software, the programmer and the writer; b) Test narrative designs; c) Stimulate decisions, approaches and problem-solving techniques only triggered by the creative creation process; d) Provide informal micro testing of the human response to the schema employed.</blockquote> Good luck with your research journey Lola! I'm enjoying mine very much and I hope you do too.  Hello Lola, that question is a good one. There isn’t much information on the subject because it is a highly contentious area of academia.

I have never been able to... What I am interested in learning more about is, how on earth do I MERGE 'fiction' (the creative) and the exegetical? I can't find any info on HOW TO DO this AT ALL - and that's a loss of data to me! Can someone help/advise? Lola EX-OZZIE IN U.K. Interesting that you RETRIEVED ‘lost data’ Gary.
