A Review of Artistic Research and Literature, Edited by Corina Caduff and Tan Wälchli

Abstract

The intersection between artistic research and literature has so far found little attention in the literature of arts research (Caduff & Wälchli, 2019). This is surprising as artistic research regularly encompasses creative forms of language, but also because creative writing has established itself as an academic discipline for quite some time. The anthology I review here, Artistic Research and Literature, edited by Corina Caduff and Tan Wälchli offers a heterogeneous and hybrid collection of contributions engaged with the performative quality of the research, the definition of the subject, institutional affiliations and self-positionings as well as a diverse range of case studies.

Keywords:

• creative writing,
• performative research,
• hybridization,
• poetic arts,
• artist/writer,
• review
