Possibilities of articulation between Art and Science: an analysis based on the perception of master's students

Abstract

Several researches that relate science and art have been carried out in the academic field, which points to a professional research scenario. However, there are also studies that point to the lack of philosophical discussions about this articulation. Faced with this, this research aims to contribute to this investigation, as it aims to understand the understanding of a group of students about the possibilities of the relationship between art and science. The students are master's students in a graduate program at a federal university in southern Brazil. We performed a triangle to raise their illustrations and analyzed the material based on a phenomenological and hermeneutic research methodology, Discursive Textual Analysis, which is based on the deconstruction of the corpus, its categorization and creation of an emerging narrative. Based on this structure, we described the phenomenon that was shown and carried out an interpretative movement from which three categories emerged. The categories demonstrate that the articulation between science and art can be a means for valuing both through historicity, enabling an approximation between science and the student's reality and allowing a perceptive understanding of the world beyond the conceptual character.
