secondary purposes:
- to persuade readers that the proposed thesis (opinion, idea) is right (expository research paper)
- to persuade readers that the proposed thesis is the correct/better one as opposed to another thesis (argumentative research paper)
- to survey the most valid and convincing of the existing research on a subject (descriptive research paper)

ReplyDeleteThe research paper "Marina Abramovics-Between Art and the Extreme" by Roxana Andonie is an analytical study of the life and work of performance artist Marina Abramovic. The paper is a critical analysis of Abramovic's art, drawing on both established and recent scholarship on the subject.
The author, Roxana Andonie, presents previous findings on the subject of performance art and Abramovic's work specifically. She discusses the origins of performance art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and its development as a distinct genre of art. The author also presents the key themes and characteristics of Abramovic's work, such as her exploration of physical and emotional limits, her use of her own body as a medium, and her engagement with political and social issues.
The author's new insight proposes that Abramovic's work is not only a form of artistic expression, but also a form of activism that challenges societal norms and expectations. The author argues that Abramovic's performances are not just about the artist's personal experiences, but also about the experiences of women, immigrants, and other marginalized groups.
In terms of the author's use of sources, they are relevant and well-acknowledged. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including scholarly articles, books, and interviews with Abramovic and other artists. These sources provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject and support the author's arguments. The author's analysis of Abramovic's work is well-informed and insightful, demonstrating a deep understanding of the subject and the artist's oeuvre

ReplyDeleteMarina Abramovic’s - Between Art and the Extreme by Roxana Andonie is an
expository research paper, probably a seminar paper. The author focuses on Marina
Abramović's performance art and presents its characteristics and her artistic philosophy.
The paper mentions a source, ArtFactsNet from 2010. This source provides
information about Abramović's performance style being "ritualistic" and often involving
danger. It likely discusses themes explored in her work such as trust, endurance, and
transformation.
The author proposes a fresh perspective on Abramović's work, based on her mental
and physical limits and their impact on her audience. This could involve a detailed analysis
of specific performances such as Rhythm 10, Rhythm 2 and Rhythm 0, or interpreting her
work through a new theoretical lens.
The research paper mentions several sources, some of them based on statements
that Marina Abramovic has made over time, which can be relevant for her the artist’s work
(from her point of view). In my opinion, a research paper should not include sources such as
Wikipedia. The references should follow a standard academic style guide such as American
Psychological Association. There are some in-text citations that do not show the full
reference format, thus the research paper analyzing Marina Abramović's performance art
should incorporate a wider range of sources and proper reference formatting.
