Wild Margins playing at work and life
PhD written by Chris Seeley
Extract
...
Through looking at my own and others’ practices in
the (mainly) visual arts and (particularly) in improvisational
clowning, I propose an epistemology of presentational knowing
and map a possible territory for a more committed marriage of
presentational knowing with action research. From these foundations,
I inquire into the lived realities and dynamics of evolving my
professional practice as a facilitator and educator towards this
more committed marriage. The contexts for my research are learning
with underprivileged “lowers” (in international development
settings) and learning with relatively overprivileged “uppers”(in
Westernised educational establishments). Finally, I identify key
themes which I believe enable and allow action research to become
more “arty” and art to become more “action researchy”
in service of the pressing issues of sustainability.
