RC35 Conceptual and Terminological Analysis (host committee)

Language: Spanish and English

Session Type: Oral


This session invites scholars who are interested in the role of “art” in society and the usage of “art” in sociological inquiry. The role of art may vary in different socio-cultural contexts around the world. For example, questions such as what is art in art education in different societies can be conceptually analyzed and compared. As for art as a research method, currently Art-Based Research (ABR) has been developed and used as a new method of inquiry in various intersectional and intercultural fields, such as Education, Anthropology, International Relations, History, Psychology, Health Sciences and (of course) in Sociology. Since this is a nascent field, we would like to welcome pioneering and experimental submission with keen interests in its conceptual appropriation and potentiality of arts unfolds.
