Practice-Based Literary Research as Activated Inquiry

Abstract

: Literary artistic practice should analyse and describe its modes and modalities. Based on the study of Caroline Bergvall’s and Jena Osman’s practice-based research, this ar-ticle focuses on inquiry as one of the modes of literary research, while also showing the use of introducing poetry within the discourse of literary research. The two works investigated activate their research by the creation of a poeisis of inquiry. This investigation allows for a renewed consideration of artistic research.
