Care Aesthetics Research Exploration (CARE)

护理美学：研究探索（护理）将创建第一个全面和多学科的调查护理美学的概念，应用研究成果，以开发为当代艺术，健康和社会护理环境设计的巧妙护理的新实践。关怀始于这样一个假设，即关怀作为一种实践可以被理解为具有美学维度-这是一种精心制作的，感官的和具体的特征。该项目探讨了如果我们关注其美学，我们如何以新的方式理解护理，以及如果我们问他们如何促进人类间的护理，我们如何以新的方式理解艺术实践。该项目借鉴了护理伦理学家对相互依赖的人际关系的分析，将其作为社会正义的基础，探讨了对护理美学的关注如何提供新的见解和新的实践，这些见解和实践与有时粗心的社会的不平等背道而驰。调查护理如何在当代社会参与的艺术实践中运作，特别关注应用戏剧项目，研究询问如何关注护理美学为这些实践提供新的方法。与此同时，该项目将与健康和社会护理研究人员合作，调查一系列当代社会和医疗保健实践，以研究对美学的关注如何重新评估那些经常处于健康和社会护理环境中存在的危机前沿的工作人员的技能。如果机构护理已经变得过于工具性和技术性的重点，该项目询问如何重新定位到体现和感官的做法，由护理从业者将提供新的方法，有可能提高护理质量在不同的设置。在社会和健康环境中的研究和社会参与的艺术背景下的分析将与在前者工作的艺术研究人员和健康和社会护理的研究人员对后者做出贡献。这将包括一个关于护理美学和冠状病毒的扩展案例研究，该研究将记录在护理和艺术领域存在的对流行病的反应，以研究关注人与人之间的护理关系的美学如何可能阐明以社区为基础的强大手段来应对危机的困难。该项目将在第一年建立护理美学实验室，作为研究的参与和传播工具，并能够开发探索性实践，将专业人士，艺术家，教育家和研究人员的多学科团队聚集在一起，包括更广泛的公众和从业者参与的机会。它将确保从业者社区参与研究过程，并帮助开发由护理美学提供信息的新方法，以满足我们当代护理危机的紧迫性。

Care Aesthetics: Research Exploration (CARE) will create the first comprehensive and multidisciplinary investigation into the concept of care aesthetics, applying research outcomes to develop new practices of artful care designed for contemporary arts, health and social care settings. CARE starts from the hypothesis that care as a practice can be understood to have an aesthetic dimension - that is a crafted, sensory and embodied character. The project explores how we might understand care in new ways if we attend to its aesthetics, and how we might understand arts practices in new ways if we ask how they contribute to interhuman care. Drawing on care ethicists' analysis of interdependent human relations as a foundation for a situated version of social justice, the project asks how an attention to care aesthetics might provide new insights and new practices that run counter to the inequalities of a sometimes careless society. Investigating how care operates in contemporary socially engaged arts practice, with particular attention to applied theatre projects, the research asks how a focus on care aesthetics provides new approaches to these practices. Simultaneously, working with health and social care researchers, the project will investigate a range of contemporary social and health care practices, to examine how a focus on aesthetics might revaluate the skills of staff who are often at the forefront of the crises that exist in health and social care settings. If institutional care has become overly instrumental and technically focused, the project asks how a reorientation to embodied and sensory practices by care practitioners will offer new approaches with the potential to improve the quality of care in different settings. The research in social and health settings and the analysis in socially engaged arts contexts will cross-pollinate with researchers from the arts working in the former and researchers from health and social care contributing to the latter. This will include an extended case study on care aesthetics and coronavirus which will document the responses to the pandemic that exist both in a care and artistic register, to examine how a focus on the aesthetics of interhuman caring relations might illuminate powerful community-based means for dealing with the difficulties of the crisis. The project will establish the Care Aesthetics Lab in year one to act as the engagement and dissemination vehicle for the research and enable the development of exploratory practices that will bring multidisciplinary teams of professionals, artists, educationalists and researchers together, including opportunities for broader public and practitioner engagement. It will ensure involvement of practitioner communities in the process of research and help develop new approaches informed by care aesthetics, meeting the urgency of our contemporary crisis in care.
