doi:10.1590/2237-266052368engPérez Royo, VictoriaAbout Research in the Arts: a lover’s discourseART-2015-93795This paper is the result of an exercise of experimental re-writing and analogical thinking which had as an aim to open a new perspective on research in the arts. In terms of method, the different figures of love in Barthes' A Lover's Discourse are forced to talk about the relationship of researcher and object of study. This analogy allows us to find quality parameters based on a scale of values different to the hegemonic ones in the academy (productivity, competitiveness, innovation). These new parameters might constitute a solid ontological basis to build a new politics of artistic research in the academy that allow a radical reconsideration of processes of artistic research.2015http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/4843010.1590/2237-266052368http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/48430oai:zaguan.unizar.es:48430Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença 5, 3 (2015), 533-558byhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
