Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay discusses methodological possibilities for conducting research using creative artistic processes as references. I ask: how can experimentation be valued, as well as notes of works in progress, and registers of flashes from life, without losing the rigor of theoretical discussions or an attentive look at urgent ethical and political needs of the present? Supported by Foucault, Hadot, Benjamin and others, I discuss topics from the work of Kiarostami, Clarice Lispector, Italo Calvino, and Pina Bausch. With these and other examples, including comments on a study in progress, I propose ways of reasoning poetically by fearlessly appropriating lessons from the arts.RÉSUMÉ Dans cet essai, je discute des possibilités méthodologiques pour réaliser des recherches, en utilisant les processus créatifs dans les arts comme référence. Comment valoriser l’expérimentation, les notes sur les travaux en cours, les éclats de vie, sans perdre la rigueur du débat théorique, ni le regard attentif sur les urgences éthiques et politiques du présent? Avec le soutien de Foucault, Hadot, Benjamin, je discute des sujets du travail de Kiarostami, Clarice Lispector, Italo Calvino et Pina Bausch. Avec ces exemples et d’autres, y compris le compte rendu d’une recherche en cours, je propose des moyens de raisonner poétiquement pour s’approprier sans peur de ce que les différents arts enseignent..RESUMO Neste ensaio, discute-se a possibilidade metodológica de realizar pesquisas, tendo como referência processos criativos em artes. A pergunta é: como valorizar a experimentação, as anotações do trabalho em curso, o registro dos lampejos de vida, sem perder o rigor do debate teórico, nem o olhar atento sobre urgências, éticas e políticas do presente? Com o apoio em Foucault, Hadot, Benjamin, entre outros, percorrem-se tópicos da obra do cineasta Kiarostami, de Clarice Lispector, do escritor Italo Calvino e da coreógrafa Pina Bausch. Com esses e outros exemplos, inclusive com o relato do percurso de uma pesquisa, propõem-se modos de raciocinar poeticamente, com a apropriação sem medo daquilo que ensinam diferentes artes.
