Knowings and Knots
Methodologies and Ecologies in Research-Creation
Edited by Natalie Loveless
Knowings and Knots presents a range of interdisciplinary perspectives on the methodology of research-creation and asks how those who make knowledge think about and value it. Not just a method but a site of ongoing experimentation around what counts as knowledge, research-creation is a meeting place of academia, artistic creation, and the wider public. The contributors argue that academic institutions and funders must recognize research-creation as innovative knowledge-making that leaps over the traditional splitting of theory from practice while considering how gender/feminist studies, Indigenous practices, and new materialism might inform and develop the conversation. Through this book, readers can transform the way they experience both art and education.

"The editor and authors engage themselves, each other, and wider communities creating a wealth of intricate insights, understandings, and possibilities about research-creation... Knowings and Knots promotes research-creation discourse and contributes to research discussions and debates in 21st century universities. Its value to K-12 educational environments, teachers, and teacher educators comes from persons sharing ideas about arts and humanities research-creation here."
"This book opens up to the doing and undoing involved in the generation of research-creation, the makings of new forms of knowledge, and what it is to work at the interstices -- the interstices of thinking-feeling, of bodies, human, nonhuman, entangling with places and other communities, ecologically."
"Research-creation transcends conventional research methods, being an integrated praxis that is devised and tailored for each project. This collection explores some of the charged, contradictory, and productive spaces in which research-creation practitioners and educators find themselves within academia."
"Knowings and Knots speaks to a particularly prevalent question in the field, that is, how the results of research-creation can be presented within the frameworks of academic writing and publication. The solutions presented here are elegant, creative, rigorous, and thought-provoking."
