Resumo: | This article discusses an indigenous methodological framework employed in the development of my doctoral study, ‘Asi – The Presence of the Unseen. Considering the Tongan concept of ‘asi (the unseen spirit that energises and gives agency to artistic work), the thesis asked, “What occurs when young Oceanic people work together creatively in a group, drawing on values from their cultural heritage to develop meaningful faiva (artistic performance)?” In posing this question, the study sought to understand how ‘asi might bring forward a powerful sense of belonging and co-creation that might resource artistic practice. As such, I proposed that the ‘asi identifiable at the peak of a performance, might be also be discernible before and after such an event. The methodological framework for the study drew its inspiration from approaches to making Tongan bark cloth fabric (ngatu). Given the co-creative nature of such work, the Ngatu framework positioned the investigator as both an artistic practitioner and a reflector on the practices and experiences of other people collaborating in the study. |

Teniendo en cuenta el concepto Tonga de “'asi” (el espíritu invisible que energiza y da agencia al trabajo artístico), la tesis indagaba sobre: "¿Qué sucede cuando los jóvenes de Oceanía trabajan juntos creativamente en un grupo, aprovechando los valores de su herencia cultural para desarrollar faiva (actuación artística) significativa?” Al plantear esta pregunta, el estudio buscaba comprender cómo “'asi” podría generar un poderoso sentido de pertenencia y co-creación que pudiera impulsar la práctica artística. Como tal, propuse que el “'asi” identificable en la cima de una actuación, también podría ser discernible antes y después de tal evento. El marco metodológico para el estudio se inspiró en los enfoques para hacer tela de corteza de Tonga (ngatu). Dada la naturaleza co-creativa de dicho trabajo, el marco Ngatu posicionó al investigador como un practicante artístico y un reflector de las prácticas y experiencias de otras personas que colaboran en el estudio.UFSCar2022-06-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRated by peersCalificado por sus compañerosAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistageminis.ufscar.br/index.php/geminis/article/view/72010.53450/2179-1465.RG.2022v13i2p17-28Revista GEMInIS; v. 13 n. 2 (2022): Dossiê: LINK2022 Journal - A Pesquisa Practice-led em Comunicação e Design - Coleção Vol. 1; 17-28Revista GEMInIS; Vol. 13 No. 2 (2022): Dossier: LINK2022 Journal - The Practice-led Research in Communication Design - Collection Vol. 1; 17-28Revista GEMInIS; Vol. 13 Núm. 2 (2022): Dossier: LINK2022 Journal - La Investigación Guiada por la Práctica en Comunicación y Diseño - Colección vol. 1; 17-282179-1465reponame:Revista GEMInISinstname:Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR)instacron:UFSCARenghttps://www.revistageminis.ufscar.br/index.php/geminis/article/view/720/478Copyright (c) 2022 Cecelia Faumuina; Marcos Mortensen Steagallhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFaumuina, Cecelia2022-06-14T06:42:35Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/720Revistahttps://www.revistageminis.ufscar.br/index.php/geminisPUBhttps://www.revistageminis.ufscar.br/index.php/geminis/oai||revista.geminisufscar@gmail.com2179-14652179-1465opendoar:2022-06-14T06:42:35Revista GEMInIS - Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR)false |
