“…Individuals who shared a class or role tended toward the same understandings whether they were local or from outside Sri Lanka, as shown in the above clusters of themes. Indeed, symbolic and metaphoric forms of expression are cited as more common among poor and rural communities, who do not use confessional or abstract narrative styles (Ben-Ezer, 2002;Bowler, 1997;Eisner, 1997;Sclater 2003).…”

Use of the arts in international aid is common in an ad hoc form, but it has not been systematically theorised or evaluated. The arts have the potential to be a culturally contextualised and sustainable intervention for adults and children in the aftermath of war or disaster. On the micro level, the arts are a method to enable the retrieval and reprocessing of traumatic memories that are often encoded in images rather than in words. On a macro level, they can help to reconstruct a group narrative of a disaster as well as mobilise people back into control of their lives. This paper researches a long-term project using arts in Sri Lanka following the civil war and tsunami. A central finding is the need to understand arts within their cultural context, and their usefulness in strengthening the voices and problem-solving capacities of the victims of the disaster.

“…Además, para estas académicas, adoptar esta perspectiva de investigación empodera a los entrevistados, lo que ayuda a igualar las relaciones entre investigador(a) e investigado. Por otro lado, Mason (2002) y Sclater (2003) consideran que, en la IBA, tanto los dibujos, como las historias, relatos, viñetas o fotografías pueden ser utilizados como estrategias desencadenantes en las entrevistas y además como una forma que puede ayudar a vincular conceptos abstractos.…”

RESUMENEn este artículo se comparte el lugar que se ha dado a los relatos y la narrativa como método y formas de saber en una investigación doctoral. Para ello se desarrolla una genealogía entre la metodología narrativa y la Investigación Basada en las Artes (IBA). Este cruce permite comprender el giro narrativo en las ciencias sociales y sus aportes a la investigación cualitativa, sobre todo las contribuciones de los métodos artísticos y literarios en la investigación de la experiencia educativa. Tras este recorrido, a modo de ejemplo se comparten tres formas en las se utilizó el relato durante la recogida de evidencias para este estudio doctoral. Primero, el relato como estrategia desencadenante para las entrevistas. Luego, como método visual y desencadenante para los focus group y, por último, como construcción teórica de análisis, a través de la construcción de narraciones biográficas. Estas tres formas, que poseen elementos de la Investigación Basada en las Artes, fueron utilizadas como estrategias para comprender el saber docente de un grupo de profesoras de artes visuales en Chile.

AbSTRAcTIn this article we share the place that we gave to the tales and narrative as method and forms of knowledge in a doctoral research. For this a genealogy between narrative methodology and Arts Based Research (IBA) is developed. This crossing allows to understand the narrative turn in the social sciences and their contributions to qualitative research, especially the contributions of literary and art research methods in the educational experience. After this tour, as an example, we share three forms of how the account was used during the collection of evidence for this doctoral study. First, the story as a trigger strategy for interviews. Then, as visual method and trigger for focus group and, finally, as a theoretical construction of analysis, through the construction of biographical narratives. These three forms, which have elements of Arts Based Research, were used as strategies to understand the teacher knowledge of a group of art teachers in Chile.

“…The arts-based paradigm states that by handing over creativity (the contents of the research) and its interpretation (an explanation of the contents) to the research participant, the participant is empowered, the relationship between researcher and research participant is intensified and made more equal, and the contents are more culturally exact and explicit, using emotional as well as cognitive ways of knowing. Mason (2002) and Sclater (2003) have suggested that drawing or storytelling, or the use of vignettes or pictures as a trigger within an interview, already common in work with children, could also help adults connect ideological abstractions to specific situations, using both personal and collective elements of cultural experience.…”

“…In art-based research, elitism is replaced by art as communication, whereby reactions to the art work are more important than the quality of the art in terms of external aesthetic criteria. Within this paradigm, the criteria of communication and social responsibility predominate over craftsmanship (Finley, 2003;Mullen, 2003;Sclater, 2003).…”

“…Art-based research also aims to transform, in that it can "use the imagination not only to examine how things are, but also how they could be" (Mullen, 2003, p. 117). It aims to connect and empower by creating something together with the research participants rather than the classic research orientation that takes information away from them (Finley, 2003;Sclater, 2003). Sarasema (2003), a qualitative researcher, discussed the therapeutic advantages of storytelling for widowed research participants, claiming that art-based research is a way of creating knowledge that "connects head to heart" (p. 603).…”

In this article, the author examines the combination of arts-based research and art therapy within Bedouin women"s empowerment groups. The art fulfills a double role within the group of both helping to illuminate the women"s self-defined concerns and goals, and simultaneously enriching and moving these goals forward. This creates a research tool that adheres to the feminist principles of finding new ways to learn from lower income women from a different culture, together with creating a research context that is of direct potential benefit and enrichment for the women. The author, through examples of the use of art within lower income Bedouin women"s groups, examines the theoretical connection between arts-based research and art therapy, two areas that often overlap but whose connection has not been addressed theoretically.
