The Disappeared Future of Arts-Based Research, Parts I–VI: Towards a Reality-Without-Givenness

Abstract

This essay marks a speculative attempt at thinking arts-based research—its strident commitments and contemporary movements—from the vantage of the Anthropocene—the current geological epoch characterized by the influence of human activity on planetary life. The challenges of this new global epoch are taken up as a speculative probe for assessing key fidelities and impasses within the field of arts-based research and their adequacy to a moment of vast planetary change. By shifting the ecological background of the field, the essay seeks to articulate a quite different project, stakes, and mood for arts-based research. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
