Description
Practice as Research in the Arts and Beyond: A Guide to Becoming a Practitioner-Researcher. This book provides a comprehensive guide to Practice as Research, addressing its contexts and applications. Robin Nelson updates thinking and practices while maintaining a clear approach to becoming a practitioner-researcher. The second edition extends the scope beyond traditional arts disciplines, exploring intra-disciplinary approaches in the formation of the "future university". A nuanced comparison is made between Artistic Research and Practice Research, highlighting the central role of embodied knowing. The book acknowledges the current crisis in legitimation and offers a broad view on how knowledge can be understood in the 21st century. Perspectives from around the world are presented in Part II, offsetting the more Eurocentric emphasis in Part I. By exploring onto-epistemology and Other/other dialogic exchange, Nelson sustains rationality and community. A valuable resource for those seeking to undertake Practice as Research, this book provides a direct and clear approach to becoming a practitioner-researcher.
