ABSTRACT:
This text analyses the methodological perspective conceptually known as Arts-based Research (ABR) in a broader way and artography in a more specific way. In Brazil ABR is known as Pesquisa (ou Investigação) Baseada nas Artes1 1 We kept all the methodological terms and designations in the mother tongue to be consistent with the acronym used. (PBA), or Pesquisa Educacional Baseada nas Artes (PEBA), or yet Investigação Educacional Baseada nas Artes (IEBA). In Spanish-speaking countries the concept is explored as Investigación Basada en las Artes (IBA) and in the English-language countries Arts-Based Educational Research (ABER) or simply Arts-Based Research (ABR). A/r/graphy is a kind of "Arts-based Research". Initially we will detail the epistemological field of social constructionism and the notion of "voice" and later we deal with "Arts-Based Research", its link with a/r/graphy and the contribution of both to research in education.
