Title: Arts-based research in communication and media studies: A series of
examples and experiences
Abstract: This talk focusses on arts-based research (ABR), to be distinguished from research-based arts, and how it can be (and has been) used in the field of communication and media studies. After a brief introduction of ABR, and a discussion on what ABR has to offer (in relation to knowledge expansion, the hybridisation of subject positions and the ability to reach diversified audiences), three particular examples are discussed: Respublika!, Iconoclastic Controversies and Silencing/Unsilencing Nature.
