Abstract

This paper reflects on a research-creation project that investigates the ways in which surveillance is experienced by youth as an embodiment that might be difficult to articulate in words but rather expressed affectively, through emotion and social practice. Our argument is that the aesthetic intervention provoked by research-creation can instantiate encounters that capture surveillance as an ineffable experience of everyday life. We situate our methodological claims in a concrete case study that considers youth engagement with a commissioned contemporary art project. Drawing on the writings of child and youth psychoanalyst W.D. Winnicott, we theorize the importance of a facilitating environment to create the conditions for young people to freely and playfully express meanings they make in their encounters with art. Research-creation suggests a perspective of resistance and failure as productive and constitutive of the possibilities of coming to know, both for the research subjects and ultimately for the authors in their orientation to research inquiry.

摘要

本文反思了一个研究创作项目，该项目调查了青少年经历监视的方式，作为一种可能难以用语言表达的体现，而是通过情感和社会实践进行情感表达。我们的论点是，研究创造引发的美学干预可以将监视的​​遭遇实例化为日常生活中不可言喻的体验。我们将我们的方法论主张置于一个具体的案例研究中，该案例研究考虑了年轻人参与委托当代艺术项目的情况。借鉴儿童和青少年精神分析学家WD Winnicott的著作，我们理论化了便利环境的重要性，为年轻人创造条件，让他们自由、有趣地表达他们在接触艺术时所表达的意义。
