ABSTRACT

This article is concerned with creative arts practices as forms of knowing, and as forms capable of expressing this knowing. Our aim here is to make sense of the factors that have driven creative artists into the university over the last three decades, and to articulate how creative practices function in the present ‘research’ context. We argue that, after three decades of creative arts practice aligning to university notions of ‘research’, something important is happening to both. We think a ‘poietic turn’ is underway within university research that may have profound implications for scholarship and for the sector more broadly. In making this case we consider what, historically, creative arts have brought to the university and why, and we reflect on this thing called ‘research’ and where it is heading. Finally, we suggest that creative arts methods and practices (that constitute this ‘poietic turn’) may offer important tools through which scholars can understand and respond to the forms of personal, communal, and global stewardship required for our contemporary times.

摘要

本文关注的是作为认知形式以及能够表达这种认知的形式的创造性艺术实践。我们的目的是了解过去三十年来推动创意艺术家进入大学的因素，并阐明创意实践如何在当前的“研究”背景下发挥作用。我们认为，经过三十年的创意艺术实践与大学“研究”概念的结合，一些重要的事情正在发生在两者身上。我们认为大学研究正在发生“诗性转向”，这可能对学术和更广泛的领域产生深远的影响。在阐述这个案例时，我们考虑了历史上创意艺术给大学带来了什么以及为什么，我们反思了这个被称为“研究”的东西以及它的发展方向。最后，
