Description
This creative practice-led research project investigates the creation of violent female protagonists in dystopian fiction in order to discover what these type of characters reveal about society's ideas of gender. The outcome of the project is research product or artefact, a work of fiction titled 'Swan Song'. The work is deliberately poetic in presentation to encourage readers to consider the complexity of female gender construction. The project accomplishes this by incorporating aspects of evocative practice research, action research, and fiction in the research methods.
