Beschreibung
"In Praise of Detours celebrates the productive power of wandering in creative research. These essays reveal how diversions, accidents, and lateral moves generate insights that linear methodologies miss. From theatre to fashion, literature to curatorial practice, the contributors demonstrate that getting lost is often how we find what matters most. Essential reading for anyone interested in creative methodologies that honour complexity, serendipity, and the fertile chaos of creative work."
— Professor Kim Wilkins, University of Queensland
"Methodological creativity in research is an imperative for transformative engagement. In Praise of Detours is a must-read that brings together an extraordinary range of creatives whose research journeys embrace and illustrate discomfort and uncertainty as generative spaces for displacing methodological boundaries. Let yourself listen. Let yourself be moved by the roots and routes to create new ways of reading, researching, and writing."
— Professor Pamela Burnard, University of Cambridge
