A/r/tography cover

The focus of this edited book is to evoke and provoke conceptual conversations between early a/r/tographic publications and the contemporary scholarship of a/r/tographers publishing and producing today. Working around four pervasive themes found in a/r/tographic literature, this volume addresses relationality and renderings, ethics and embodiment, movement and materiality, and propositions and potentials.

In doing so, it advances concepts that have permeated a/r/tographic literature to date. More specifically, the volume simultaneously offers a site where key historical works can easily be found and at the same time, offer new scholarship that is in conversation with these historical ideas as they are discussed, expanded and changed within contemporary contexts. The organizing themes offer conceptual pivots for thinking through how a/r/tography was first conceptualized and how it has evolved and how it might further evolve.

Thus, this edited book affords an opportunity for all those working in and through a/r/tography to offer refined, revised, revisited or new conceptual understandings for contemporary scholarship and practice.

'A/r/tography is an essential read for arts researchers. It spans the ideas of both established and emergent scholars. As a current Ph.D. student, it was an enjoyable experience to read this new edition. The book’s structure is organized into distinct parts that encompass diverse research ideas and methods – a ‘sympoiesis’ of ethical, relational and material concepts. It delves into the authors lived experiences, encompassing, human, non-human and more than human assemblages. It proposes new methodologies, frameworks and possibilities for future research practices, highlighting new ways of conducting arts-based research that foreground contemporary pedagogical praxis. This book embodies Irwin’s non-hierarchical, rhizomatic inclusiveness through including texts that speak to critical and caring ways in which a/r/tography can promote a deeper understanding of our relational existence through ‘living inquiry’ to foster stewardship of our global ecologies.'
