Art beyond context: a sociological inquiry into the singularity of cultural creativity
This article advocates the awareness that art exists also beyond the context. No doubt that art exists within a context. Still, it goes beyond the context. First, each artistic corpus is a structure in itself. Second, it cannot be solely considered from the point of view of context. So, a double dia...

This article advocates the awareness that art exists also beyond the context. No doubt that art exists within a context. Still, it goes beyond the context. First, each artistic corpus is a structure in itself. Second, it cannot be solely considered from the point of view of context. So, a double dialogue is needed: between social science and art study, and between social science and art itself. We need a dialogue in the Bakhtinian sense, recognizing the plurality of voices, and refusing any authoritative or absolute stance of one of them. If we want to seize the singularity and textuality of the work of art, in all its aspects and consequences, we must allow for this singularity and textuality to penetrate and feed our sociological theory and research, not only as subjects but also as factors of knowledge and interpretation. |

No doubt that art exists within a context. Still, it goes beyond the context. First, each artistic corpus is a structure in itself. Second, it cannot be solely considered from the point of view of context. So, a double dialogue is needed: between social science and art study, and between social science and art itself. We need a dialogue in the Bakhtinian sense, recognizing the plurality of voices, and refusing any authoritative or absolute stance of one of them.

O artigo defende que a arte também existe para além do seu contexto. Claro que existe num determinado contexto; não obstante, vai além. De um lado, porque cada obra artística representa por si própria uma certa estrutura, que deve ser analisada como tal. Do outro, ela não pode ser restituída apenas a partir do ponto de vista contextual. Precisamos, assim, de um duplo diálogo: entre as ciências sociais e os estudos artísticos, e entre as ciências sociais e as artes. Um diálogo no sentido de Bakhtine, isto é, que reconhece a pluralidade das vozes em presença e recusa atribuir a qualquer delas uma posição de autoridade absoluta. Se queremos apreender a singularidade e a textualidade de cada obra de arte, em todos os seus aspetos e consequências, temos de deixar que essas características da arte penetrem e alimentem a teoria e a pesquisa sociológica; e que o façam não apenas como objetos de estudo, mas também como fatores de conhecimento e interpretação. Cet article plaide pour avoir la conscience que l’art se situe aussi au-delà du contexte. C’est évident que l’art existe dans un certain contexte. Pourtant, elle va au-delà de ce contexte. D’abord parce que chaque corpus artistique est par lui-même une structure. Ensuite, parce qu’il n’est pas saisissable du seul point de vue du contexte. Nous avons besoin d’un double dialogue, entre les sciences sociales et les études artistiques et entre les sciences sociales et les arts eux-mêmes. C’est un dialogue à la façon de Bakhtine, qui puisse reconnaître la pluralité des voix, sans accorder à aucune une position d’autorité absolue. Si nous, les sociologues, voulons relever la singularité et la textualité d’un œuvre artistique, dans tous ces aspects et effets, nous devons permettre à l’œuvre d’art de pénétrer et alimenter notre théorie et nos recherches, et non seulement en tant qu’objet d’étude sinon comme facteur de connaissance et d’interprétation. El artículo sostiene que el arte también existe más allá de su contexto. Por supuesto, existe en un contexto determinado; sin embargo, va más allá. Por un lado, porque cada obra artística representa en sí misma una determinada estructura, que debe ser analizada como tal. Por otro lado, no se puede considerar el arte solo desde el punto de vista contextual. Así, necesitamos un diálogo doble: entre las ciencias sociales y los estudios artísticos, y entre las ciencias sociales y las artes. Un diálogo en el sentido de Bakhtine, es decir, que reconoce la pluralidad de voces y se niega a atribuir a una de ellas una posición de autoridad absoluta. Si queremos aprehender la singularidad y textualidad de cada obra de arte, en todos sus aspectos y consecuencias, debemos permitir que las características del arte penetren y alimenten la teoría y la investigación sociológica, no solamente en su condición de objeto de estudio, sino también como factor de conocimiento e interpretación. |
