From the art-science universe. Unity and divergences in the university environment the art-science universe. Unity and divergences at the university environment
Abstract
The positions regarding the link between art and science are dissimilar, the points of view are fundamentally related to the area of knowledge which they are investigated from. A study combining analytical-synthetic methods, document analysis, discussion and review, and methodological triangulation, applied in 40 theses and 11 teachers, leads to conclusions in which the "necessary" unity of art and science is appreciated, especially in an educational context, regardless of the contradictions that are manifested when the professional artist's training faces an external evaluation process seeking its institutional qualification. In this sense, hereby an objective is formed: to present diverse positions on the art-science relationship, from a reflection in which this relationship is defended as a universality in the educational context, based on the historical evolution and on the "identity of qualities", regardless its contradictory aspects in its manifestation.As a result, divergent and universal aspects are identified in the art-science relationship.
