ARTISTIC LANGUAGES IN THE PRODUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE: A QUALITATIVE METHODOLOGY FOR THE STUDY OF SENSITIVES AND SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS

Abstract

The present work communicates an interdisciplinary methodology of qualitative social research where they discussed languages ​​and artistic resources with techniques and resources of the social sciences, producing knowledge about sensitivities and representations, sensations and emotions of subjects framed in care practices of young people and older adults, in various social and institutional settings of the city of Córdoba, during the years 2012-2015. 

Art in the production of knowledge, contributes to a “say” in another way, which appears as a fold or relief in the story of those who participate in them, as a texture of a social discourse that leaves traces in their ways of living and naming the world as they know it, crystallized in social representations and ways of feeling. Following those traces, where the word that has been repressed does not reach them to rescue an experience, artistic languages ​​make it possible to arrive at emotions and a symbolic world unknown to the subject himself, who thus connects and names what he believes, feel, perceive and think. 

The proposed discussion will allow us to arrive at some final thoughts about the possibility of dialogue and co-creation between art and science.
