Mariona Moncunill and Gerard Vilar will be reflecting on “Creation and Research” into cultural creations in general and, more specifically, into the so-called visual arts (photography, cinema , plastic, design, architecture, etc.) in relation to the concept of research; and also into how these products fit into the academic framework.
