BELTRAN-LUENGAS, Elsa María  and  VILLANEDA VASQUEZ, Alejandro. RESEARCH-CREATION AS PRODUCTION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE: PERSPECTIVES, DEBATES AND DEFINITIONS. Índex [online]. 2020, n.10, pp.247-267. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.vi10.339.

Although great strides have been made in recognizing the products of research-creation in the national research system in Colombia, resistance persists when thinking that art can produce new knowledge. Indeed, there are still difficulties in thinking that new knowledge may be inscribed in plastic-sensory artifacts, typical of artistic creation. In fact, it seems to be that creators don’t have the argumentative tools to demonstrate that their creative processes can produce new knowledge and thus, getting access to research resources, as well as being classified as researchers. In this article we propose a definition of the concept of research-creation in terms of its result, the features of the knowledge it produces, as well as its phases; also, we suggest the role of the creator in inter and transdisciplinary processes. We conclude with an emphasis on the difference between the knowledge produced by art and the one produced by science.

Keywords : Artifact; creative disciplines; research-creation; new knowledge; plastic-sensory; transdisciplinary..
