TRAJECTORIES AND INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN ARTS, PARTICIPATION-ACTION AND RESEARCH

Abstract

The issue of social exclusion in relation to young people has been one of the most prominent research areas in the field of social sciences. There have been several studies that reflect the various modalities of advanced marginality, whether in political, economic, geographic, social and cultural terms; however, there have been few studies that have demonstrated the transformative potential of arts-based research as an effective method of intervention, and also as a vehicle for research. Indeed, in this article, we intend to demonstrate the materialization of the crossing of these two topics, both from the theoretical and the empirical point of view, covering several and differentiated contemporary contexts, objects of studies and research-action modalities.
