Abstract
Inventing the Social showcases recent efforts to develop new ways of knowing society that combine social research with creative practice. With contributions from sociology, architecture, anthropology, design research, art, geography and digital media, the book provides practical and conceptual pointers on how to move beyond the customary distinctions between knowledge and art, on how to connect the doing, researching and making of social life in potentially new ways.
Presenting concrete projects with a creative approach to researching social life, as well as reflections on the wider contexts from which these projects emerged, this collection shows how collaboration across social science, media and the arts opens up timely alternatives to narrow, instrumentalist proposals to engineer behaviour and design community from scratch. Inventing the Social recognises that social life is always already creative in itself, and takes this as a starting point for developing different ways of combining representation and intervention in social life.
