Abstract

This article discusses new perspectives in the conduction of academic studies that can generate a methodological pluralism through the approximation of theoretical reflection and practical elaboration. It presents a research project that included the design of the performance Chronica Mobilis to exemplify how the artistic creation process can serve as the main mechanism to the understanding of the experience of both, the researcher-artist and the people in relation to the work conceived. The methodological bricolage made by the aforementioned study, in a combination between artistic and traditional scientific methods, points to a knowledge that can also be acquired through the practical process. This article argues for the validity and legitimation of this method to the creation of knowledge in the experiential sense.
