Résumé : Research-creation is a porous framework that brings together arts and technologies, anchored in an academic context. We will argue that research-creation promotes recognition of artistic activity as producing unique forms of knowledge, different from those based on scientific methodology. This scientific methodology has inspired research-creation to legitimize itself, which led to the temptation to use its codes and modalities, particularly in terms of the academic writing required. We will question whether this disciplinary borrowing is wise, since artistic practice does not share the same goals and intentions; any attempt to standardize or discuss these practices remains fragile given the uniqueness of their approaches, which lie outside of thought articulated through language. We will attempto establish why the research-creation label became necessary at a moment in time, and we will highlight the importance of these practices in in order to resist the discourses, stemming from industrial technoscience, advocating efficiency and utility, which have spread like a new dogma throughout our societies.
