This course introduces a practical, theoretical and conceptual
foundation for
arts-based research. Performed (or Performative) Inquiry is an
arts-based research methodology that invites investigations across
disciplines and values the relationships between the researcher
and all aspects of his or her inquiry (the chosen medium, process,
engagement of self in the process, participants, place, the nature/themes/impulse
of the inquiry, and representation and performance).
Arts-based research is applicable to (and borrows from) other
disciplines such as education, anthropology, philosophy, nursing,
social work, women’s studies, environmental education, counselling,
multi-media studies, and the arts. Such things as non-linear methodology
and research representation, and performed pedagogy will be explored
through arts-based research initiatives, and from educational
and transformative perspectives. A major emphasis will be on:
the characteristics of the artistic process; how those processes
compose a critical inquiry; the language of art and the art of
language; and how artistic processes are connected to those of
daily life. Emphasis will also be given to the art forms of writing
(poetry and playwriting) and drama/theatre, but all educators
who wish to understand and incorporate artistic processes into
their practice, and who are interested in any of the art forms
of dance, drama, literature, narrative forms, music, film and
the visual arts, as they are practiced in different settings,
at different levels of expertise, and via various media, will
be interested in this course. Prior expertise in the arts is not
required.
This course comes at a particularly beneficial time as the instructor
hopes to involve those interested in preparing a presentation
for the section dedicated to the arts in the CSSE conference (the
Learneds) to be held at Western in the spring of 2005.
Topics covered in the course include some of the following:
Definitions of art
An aesthetics of language in an age of cultural studies
Performance as research/research by means of performance
Image-based research
Developing an enlightened eye and other senses
Performing autobiography
Drama as embodied research
Poetry as Gendered Exploration
Digital media (or technology and art)
