Research-Creation is a developing research trend in Canada\u2019s academic milieu, linking the interpretive disciplines (humanities and social sciences) with creative ones (art and design). This involves the creation of knowledge in and through creative material and performative practice.<\/p>\n

Definition from Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council <\/h5>\n

An approach to research that combines creative and academic research practices, and supports the development of knowledge and innovation through artistic expression, scholarly investigation, and experimentation. The creation process is situated within the research activity and produces critically informed work in a variety of media (art forms). Research-creation cannot be limited to the interpretation or analysis of a creator\u2019s work, conventional works of technological development, or work that focuses on the creation of curricula. The research-creation process and the resulting artistic work are judged according to SSHRC\u2019s established merit review criteria. <\/p>\n

Fields that may involve research-creation may include, but are not limited to: architecture, design, creative writing, visual arts (e.g., painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, textiles), performing arts (e.g., dance, music, theatre), film, video, performance art, interdisciplinary arts, media and electronic arts, and new artistic practices. <\/p>\n

Research\/creation is the research processes or approaches that foster creation as a continuous process. Depending on the practices and temporalities specific to each project, these may combine design, experimentation, production, and\/or critical and theoretical analysis of the creative process. As there can be no research-creation without give and take between the work of art and the creation process by which it exists, a problematization of the artistic practice with the aim of producing new esthetic, theoretical, methodological, epistemological or technical knowledge.<\/p>\n
