Entre la investigación narrativa, la investigación artística y la investigación de las imágenes.

Abstract

The reflections that I develop in this article are based on my research and teaching experience, especially as director of undergraduate degree projects in the Bachelor of Visual Arts (Faculty of Fine Arts, Universidad Pedagógica Nacional of Colombia). To do this, I search through the selection and analysis of the degree projects of students that I have advised since 2016. Through the review of these cases, which exemplify my observations and findings around the possibilities and contributions to the relationship of research and creation, I start with the tensions and the dialogues between the acts of narrating-creating-analyzing images, where the narrative serves as the articulating axis. In this way, at first, I focus on degree projects that start from artistic creation exercises that lead to narrative investigations. The second part is the analysis of a group of projects that are based on the use of narrative methodologies, articulated with artistic creation, and in the third section, I place the projects linked to methodologies developed from the narrative possibilities (visual and oral) of images. These three reflective places correspond to methodological encounters between Narrative Research, Artistic Research, and Image Research, which converge in what I state as an intern and transdisciplinary opening towards Narrative-Artistic-Visual Research, as a contribution to the fields of visual arts and visual arts education.
