Artistic Sensibility is Inherent to Research

Abstract

Artistic sensibility is defined in this work as the sensitivity and capacity to appreciate and act upon concerns of or pertaining to art and its production. This article contends that artistic sensibility is inherent to research. This contention is supported through three points which reveal a fourth: (1) Research requires dissemination. (2) Dissemination requires representation. (3) Representation requires artistic sensibility. These three points considered in conjunction illustrate a fourth: (4) Research requires artistic sensibility. This argument has implications for research venues, evaluations of research, and the preparation of researchers in all research disciplines. Namely, certain tenets of arts-based research may be applied to a much broader array of research methodologies. Identifying, honoring, and harnessing artistic sensibility in research has the potential to improve research products and enrich discourse.

Comics in Science and Health Communication: Insights From Mutual Collaboration and Framing a Research Practice

“…The creation of the comic is reflected on inter/trans/disciplinary aspects with(in) the scope of science , public health , visual and verbal narrative , from different angles of teaching , learning , behaviour , equity , assuming the experiences and of/between of the individuals involved in the process (Davies, 2019). We intended to highlight the artistic sensibility within a research endeavour (Ingman, 2022) and enlighten how the perspectives of the research relationship develops and shapes directions (Finlay, 2002) thinking and deciding the visual choices ultimately made. We acknowledge that a research approach bringing in reflexivity can be challenging and that this is especially true when different disciplines come together, each with their own complex questions and expectations, albeit this forms a rich territory in terms of progressing comics as research practice.…”

Intimidades teórico-metodológicas en el devenir autoral de una indagadora narrativa

“…Cada tamiz formal, como el filtro o la lente de una cámara, que se detiene sobre una vida, sobre su 'objetivo', de distintas maneras la transforma y la resignifica (de Vigan, 2015). También implica expandir la sensibilidad artística hacia formas de re-presentación que expandan los relatos de indagadores y participantes, que posibiliten su comprensión y hagan posible que sean compartidos de multidimensionalmente para refractarlos, reflejarlos, componerlos y descomponerlos (Ingman, 2022). El qué no resulta indiferente al cómo.…”

Estrategias utilizadas en la investigación educativa sustentada por técnicas artísticas

“…Por esta razón plantea que pueden ser un recurso heurístico y objeto de la sociología, como parte de las posibilidades ofrecidas para sus investigaciones. Así mismo, Ingman (2022) indica que en general la sensibilidad creativa es necesaria para todas las investigaciones, por lo que la ABR es un camino que puede seguirse en muchas disciplinas.…”
