Is research as practices in the humanities compatible with artistic creation? This question is important as more and more humanities researchers are disseminating their research through creative works (as opposed to publications) and more and more artists are conducting serious research in creation. The line between fine art and art history has been bypassed as we have artists working with engineers on new materials. See Arts and Humanities Research Board – Homepage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is my take on how to judge a work as research creation (to use SSHRC’s phrase).
\n<\/p>\n

Research\/Creation in the Arts and Humanities<\/h2>\n

Here are the two primary criteria I can think of for recognizing research\/creation<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. There is a creative output which would be of a quality to be exhibited, displayed, published, or performed in a venue traditionally considered a competetitive arts venue. Thus the application is designed to lead to a creative work that would be judged acceptable for public exhibition by the arts community. While we recognize that it is hard to describe a creative work before its creation, the applicant should describe the creative practice that they will follow and the type of creative work they intend to create in a fashion that inspires the adjudication committee.<\/li>\n
  2. There is ALSO a research component that would gather or analyze knowledge for the purpose of creation. The knowledge researched need not be new knowledge, but it should be new for the purpose of creation. One indication of an appropriate research component, though not a necessary one, would be a viable plan to disseminate the knowledge through appropriate peer reviewed venues be they conference presentations or publications. Applications should be clear about the research challenge, method or question that they propose to undertake and how that will lead to creative work.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These two components are both necessary for a project to be research\/creation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
