Abstract
Feminist research is a field emerging from overlaps and contingencies in relation to traditional disciplinary academic structures. Hence, given this position, feminist research has produced what we want to call post disciplinary academic knowledge. Herein lies one of the strengths and major academic contributions of feminist research.
Crucial to this post disciplinary knowledge production is not only a critical scrutiny of power hierarchies, but also a critical stance towards the power hierarchies (re)produced by scholarly norms and values, which has an impact on how academic knowledge is produced and perceived. Perhaps equally important is the influence of artistic and aesthetic productions and expressions on feminist research.
The presentation will start out giving an account for a range of historical examples where artistic explorative work has played a distinct role on the feminist academic field. Then we will summarize and reflect upon our own experiences of and ideas about the intersections between artistic research and the research field of arts and humanities from a feminist perspective.
