Abstract

Abstract: This paper is the result of an exercise of experimental re-writing and analogical thinking which had as an aim to open a new perspective on research in the arts. In terms of method, the different figures of love in Barthes' A Lover's Discourse are forced to talk about the relationship of researcher and object of study. This analogy allows us to find quality parameters based on a scale of values different to the hegemonic ones in the academy (productivity, competitiveness, innovation). These new parameters might constitute a solid ontological basis to build a new politics of artistic research in the academy that allow a radical reconsideration of processes of artistic research.Résumé: Ce texte découle d'un exercice de réécriture expérimentale et d'une pensée analogique visant à ouvrir une nouvelle perspective sur la recherche en arts. Sur le plan méthodologique, il s'agissait de faire dialoguer les différentes figures de l'amour dans l'ouvrage Fragments d'un discours amoureux, de Roland Barthes, au sujet de la relation entre chercheur et objet d'étude. Cette analogie nous permet de révéler des paramètres de qualité alternatifs aux échelles de valeurs actuellement hégémoniques au sein de l'université (productivité, compétitivité, innovation). Ces nouveaux paramètres pourraient constituer une base ontologique solide pour le développement d'une nouvelle politique de recherche artistique à l'université, nous permettant un réexamen radical des processus de recherche artistique.Resumo: Este artigo resulta de um exercício de reescrita experimental e de um pensamento analógico cujo objetivo era abrir uma nova perspectiva sobre pesquisa nas artes.
