Becoming A/r/tography
Irwin, Rita L.
Studies in Art Education: A Journal of Issues and Research in Art Education, v54 n3 p198-215 Spr 2013
This article explores moments of becoming a/r/tography. A/r/tography is a research methodology, a creative practice, and a performative pedagogy that lives in the rhizomatic practices of the in-between. Resisting the tendency for endless critique of past experience and bodies of knowledge, a/r/tography is concerned with the creative invention of concepts and mapping the intensities experienced in relational, rhizomatic, yet singular, events. Considering several recent research projects, this article explores what it means to be "becoming a/r/tography." Rather than asking what an art education practice means, the question becomes what does this art education practice set in motion do? There can be no being a/r/tography without the processes of becoming a/r/tography.
