Handbook of Arts-Based Research, 2nd Edition (Original PDF from Publisher)

The first methods handbook devoted solely to arts-based research (ABR) is now in a thoroughly updated second edition, featuring a new section on global perspectives plus new chapters on critical approaches and documentary film. The volume explores the synergies between contemporary artistic and research practices and addresses issues in designing, implementing, evaluating, and publishing ABR studies. Chapters are written by leading practitioners of each ABR genre, including those based in literature (such as narrative inquiry, fiction, and poetry); performance (music, dance, ethnodrama); visual arts (drawing, painting, collage, installation art, comics); and audiovisual and multimethod approaches. Team approaches, ethics, social justice concerns, and public scholarship are discussed, as are innovative ways that ABR is used within creative arts therapies, psychology, education, sociology, health sciences, and other disciplines. The companion website includes selected figures from the book in full color, additional online-only figures, and links to online videos of performance pieces.
