Through analysis of traditional and contemporary approaches to qualitative inquiry, Rethinking Arts-based Methodologies in Educational Research: Imagining Matter is a visionary exploration of how arts-based methodologies could be developed in the field of education research and childhood studies, to dissolve the divide between theory and practice.
This pioneering text urges the reader to ask what new thoughts non-traditional methodologies might make it possible to think; what new emotions could be felt; and what new sensations and perceptions they may encourage throughout the course, and representation of, qualitative research.
Organised by strands of connected activity, the book is divided into three, clearly defined sections:
- Section one: focuses on the use of arts-based methods in educational qualitative research and is a theoretical analysis of traditional and more contemporary conceptualisations and uses of arts-based methods in educational and qualitative research;
- Section two: enables the spotlight to turn outwards from education towards alternative disciplines where methodological practices are used as provocation and incitement to elicit effective engagement and activism with data, research processes, theory and analysis.
- Section three: reflects on fieldwork that put new methodologies to work, and in doing so, interrupted the ways child/hood is represented
Rethinking Arts-based Methodologies in Educational Research: Imagining Matter will appeal to those who have an interest in expanding and evolving their understanding of educational research, qualitative inquiry, arts-based methodologies, and the socio-cultural and political worlds of childhood.
