Researchers rethink tactics for inventing and disseminating
research, examining the use of such unconventional forms as poetry,
performance, catalogs, interactive machines, costume, and digital
platforms. Transmission is the research moment when invention meets
dissemination-the tactical combination of making (how theory,
methods, and data shape research) and communicating (how research
is shown and shared). In this book, researchers from a range of
disciplines examine tactics for the transmission of research,
exploring such unconventional forms as poetry, performance,
catalogs, interactive machines, costume, and digital platforms.
Focusing on transmissions draws attention to a critical part of the
research process commonly overlooked and undervalued. Too often,
the results of radically experimental research methodologies are
pressed into conventional formats. The contributors to
Transmissions rethink tactics for making and communicating research
as integral to the kind of projects they do, pushing against
disciplinary edges with unexpected and creative combinations and
collaborations. Each chapter focuses on a different tactic of
transmission. One contributor merges literary styles of the
empirical and poetic; another uses an angle grinder to construct
machines of enquiry. One project invites readers to participate in
an exchange about value; another provides a series of catalog cards
to materialize ordering systems of knowledge. All the contributors
share a commitment to uniting the what with the how, firmly
situating their transmissions in their research and in each unique
chapter of this book. Contributors Nerea Calvillo, Rebecca Coleman,

Creative Practice Ethnographies focuses on the ways in which the
collaboration between creative practice and ethnography offers new
ways to think with and about the methods, practice and promise of
research in contemporary interdisciplinary contexts. How does
creative practice inform new ways of doing ethnography and vice
versa? What new forms of expression and engagement are made
possible as a result of these creative synergies? In sum, we pay
particular attention to ways of being in the world that
acknowledges creativity, complexities and multiplicities in
research. In this book we seek to map why the intersection of
ethnography and creative practice matters for doing socially
impactful research. This book is aimed at interdisciplinary
researchers from art, design, sociology, anthropology, games,
media, education, and cultural studies. As interdisciplinary
scholars with divergent creative practices who are constantly
engaged in, with, and through the field, we are continuously
searching through embodied practice ways of working with and
reconfiguring the means and modes through which we do research. As
such, our work operates at the intersection of ethnography and
creative practice and we examine how they coalesce, overlap and
interplay. In this book, we examine the doing of creative practice
ethnographies through three interdisciplinary
heuristics—techniques, translations and transmissions. It is via
learnings from the field, in the form of interdisciplinary case
studies, that we seek to provide insights into this productive
synergy.
