Opening Research to Creative Practices
Blending art and inquiry, this book reveals how creative forms—from literature to performance—can rigorously produce and share knowledge, expanding the methodological imagination of the social sciences.In an academic landscape increasingly invested in reimagining how knowledge is produced and shared, this book investigates the potential of creating knowledge “in other words.” Through forms such as comics and literature, live performance, music and podcasts, audiovisual writing, exhibitions, installations, and games, it challenges the conventional boundaries between the social sciences and artistic creation. How might scientific rigor be redefined when language takes the form of image, sound, or gesture? How can knowledge move beyond the university, reach wider audiences, and inspire new forms of storytelling?Bringing together creative practices, theoretical perspectives, and diverse case studies, this book provides researchers, students, and educators with tools to experiment, innovate, and transform their methods and practices. It serves as a guide for those seeking to make imagination and science converse—turning research into a collective and experiential process.
