between positivism
and perfumery: locating knowledge paradigms for par
The knowledge
paradigms of traditional hard science based on testability, falsifiability
and universal applicability do not typically suit Practice as Research
in the arts. Conversely, to espouse an 'anything goes' utter relativism
in the context of poststructuralism leaves the arts community open to
question on a number of levels. This short contribution considers alternatives
to sense-making frames and outright mystification.
