Resumo: | This article considers the nature of postdisciplinary research as it relates to certain practice-led design inquiries. From a discussion of discipline territoriality in the academy, it moves to a consideration of how historical demarcations were disrupted and reshaped by professional disciplines that entered universities in the latter part of the 20th century. Among these, areas like design, with its high levels of situated experimentation, reflection on practice and applied professional knowing, began to challenge established disciplinary conventions. Building on the proposition that certain practice-led inquiries in design are postdisciplinary in nature, the article considers three examples of recent doctoral theses. In discussing these projects, it reveals ways in which knowledge from within and beyond conventionally demarcated disciplinary fields was gathered, interpreted and creatively synthesised. In concluding, the article proposes that practice-led, postdisciplinary research may usefully contribute to the ongoing need for expansive, flexible and appreciative approaches to knowledge generation. |

De una discusión sobre la territorialidad de las disciplinas en la academia, se pasa a una consideración de cómo las demarcaciones históricas fueron interrumpidas y remodeladas por las disciplinas profesionales que ingresaron a las universidades en la última parte del siglo XX. Entre estas, áreas como el diseño, con sus altos niveles de experimentación situada, reflexión sobre la práctica y conocimiento profesional aplicado, comenzaron a desafiar las convenciones disciplinarias establecidas. Sobre la base de la proposición de que ciertas investigaciones en diseño guiadas por la práctica son de naturaleza postdisciplinaria, el artículo considera tres ejemplos de tesis doctorales recientes. Al discutir estos proyectos, revela las formas en que se reunió, interpretó y sintetizó creativamente el conocimiento desde adentro y más allá de los campos disciplinarios convencionalmente delimitados. Para concluir, el artículo propone que la investigación postdisciplinaria guiada por la práctica puede contribuir de manera útil a la necesidad actual de enfoques expansivos, flexibles y apreciativos para la generación de conocimiento.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/71710.53450/2179-1465.RG.2022v13i2p5-16Revista GEMInIS; v. 13 n. 2 (2022): Dossiê: LINK2022 Journal - A Pesquisa Practice-led em Comunicação e Design - Coleção Vol. 1; 5-16Revista GEMInIS; Vol. 13 No. 2 (2022): Dossier: LINK2022 Journal - The Practice-led Research in Communication Design - Collection Vol. 1; 5-16Revista GEMInIS; Vol. 13 Núm. 2 (2022): Dossier: LINK2022 Journal - La Investigación Guiada por la Práctica en Comunicación y Diseño - Colección vol. 1; 5-162179-1465reponame:Revista GEMInISinstname:Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR)instacron:UFSCARenghttps://www.revistageminis.ufscar.br/index.php/geminis/article/view/717/487Copyright (c) 2022 Welby Ings; Marcos Mortensen Steagallhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessIngs, Welby2022-06-14T06:42:35Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/717Revistahttps://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 |
