The Effective and the Evocative: A Spectrum of Creative Practice Research
Hamilton, J., & Jaaniste, L. (2014). The Effective and the Evocative: A Spectrum of Creative Practice Research. Material Inventions. Applying Creative Arts Research, 232–255.
Defining and analysing Effective Practice Research (problem-based) and Evocative Practice Research (practice-led)
Creative practice research projects will usually fall into one of two categories, either Effective or Evocative. While there are differences between these two types on creative practice research, they both share the goal of finding a resolution to a problem faced by a community, and creating a solution that will result in a positive change in relation to the problem researched. This process may include many aspects such as interviews, societal studies, focus groups etc to gather relevant information for the problem at hand.
Effective Practice research is often associated with Design focused research and focuses in more on finding "a resolution to a known problem".This type of research is usually approached by an individual gathering data and information on one specific issue, the people it effects and the context around the issue itself.
Evocative Practice Research is usually associated with creative based research, and often focuses in on feelings evoked and issues relating to culture, race, Emotions or societal based problems. Instead of creating a solid resolution to an issue, the end product is often something that "provides insights into, and contributes to, human experience". Evocative Practice Research will often have a problem arise through the researchers own experiences. Through the process of practice and theory around the issue being studied, a focus on certain aspects of the issue will become clear and the researcher will begin to work towards that solution or end product.
Use the above methodologies to explain the following exemplars (research projects):
• “Visualising Resilience”
• “in an other light”
• “More than half a life”
• “Designing Sound for health and Well-being”
• “Investigating the Bat/Human Problem”
