“A/r/tography is an essential read for arts researchers. It spans the ideas of both established and emergent scholars. As a current Ph.D. student, it was an enjoyable experience to read this new edition. The book’s structure is organized into distinct parts that encompass diverse research ideas and methods – a ‘sympoiesis’ of ethical, relational and material concepts. It delves into the authors lived experiences, encompassing, human, non-human and more than human assemblages. It proposes new methodologies, frameworks and possibilities for future research practices, highlighting new ways of conducting arts-based research that foreground contemporary pedagogical praxis. This book embodies Irwin’s non-hierarchical, rhizomatic inclusiveness through including texts that speak to critical and caring ways in which a/r/tography can promote a deeper understanding of our relational existence through ‘living inquiry’ to foster stewardship of our global ecologies.”
