Resumo: Recovering part of the Koestlerian theory of creativity that understands the creative act as a ‘bisociation’ of two or more structures of thought, this paper proposes a reflection on the concept of ‘artistic research’ in the light of its self-referential processes in Cyberliterature. Five decades after the publication of The Act of Creation (1964), the confluence between the playful, scientific and artistic aspects Arthur Koestler identifies in the human creative act are now understood as outdated. Namely, if taking into account the digital age and its influence on virtually every sphere of knowledge. However, succisa virescit, it is in the re-reading of its inaugural intention –the criticism of a given academic tendency in reducing the human being to the status of a conditioned automaton –that, paradoxically, it is possible to introduce a new variable in Koestler’s famous tripartite formula: the machine. Moreover, regarding the tension that may exist between programmability and creation, and from a pluri-inter-transdisciplinary approach, it is also our intention to illustrate the ways in which barriers between creation and research become blurred, hence paving the way for the potential realization of a renewed scientific paradigm.

Cinco décadas após a publicação de The Act of Creation (1964), a confluência entre os aspectos lúdico, científico e artístico que Arthur Koestler identifica no acto criativo humano poderá hoje ser entendida como ultrapassada. Sobretudo à sombra da era do digital e da sua influência em praticamente todas as esferas do conhecimento. Porém, succisa virescit, é na re-leitura da sua intenção inaugural —a crítica a uma dada tendência académica para a redução do ser humano ao status de autómato condicionado—que, de modo paradoxal, se torna possível a introdução de uma nova varíável na famosa fórmula tripartida, i.e., a máquina. Na tensão que existe entre programabilidade e criação, e que a (re)nova(da) fórmula pressupõe, pretende-se assim ilustrar a forma como as barreiras entre criação e investigação se esbatem de forma pluri-inter-transdisciplinar, abrindo-se caminho para a potencial concretização de um renovado paradigma científico.CEHUM2019-11-19info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.21814/diacritica.308https://doi.org/10.21814/diacritica.308Diacrítica; Vol. 33 N.º 1 (2019): O que é a investigação artística?: Pressupostos, Práticas e Problematizações; 20-41Diacrítica; Vol. 33 No. 1 (2019): What is artistic research?: Presuppositions, Practices and Problematizations; 20-412183-91740870-896710.21814/diacritica.33.1reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.uminho.pt/index.php/diacritica/article/view/5037https://revistas.uminho.pt/index.php/diacritica/article/view/5037/5510Direitos de Autor (c) 2023 Diogo Marquesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMarques, Diogo2023-07-28T07:47:52Zoai:journals.uminho.pt:article/5037Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:34:40.103315Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
