Resumen

La investigación basada en el arte (IBA) ha emergido como un enfoque metodológico relevante para ampliar las formas tradicionales de producción de conocimiento en las ciencias sociales y la psicología. Este artículo analiza sus aportes epistemológicos mediante una revisión sistemática de literatura especializada, con el objetivo de comprender qué tipos de conocimiento produce y cómo articula los procesos de generación y análisis de datos. Los hallazgos muestran que la IBA trasciende el uso del arte como una técnica de investigación, constituyéndose en una forma de indagación donde los procesos creativos participan activamente en la construcción de conocimiento. La evidencia revisada indica que este enfoque resulta especialmente pertinente para el estudio de fenómenos vinculados al trauma, la enfermedad, la discapacidad, la migración, la identidad y la exclusión social permitiendo explorar dimensiones corporales, afectivas, sensoriales y simbólicas frecuentemente invisibilizadas en enfoques centrados exclusivamente en el lenguaje hablado/escrito. Asimismo, se observa una integración entre producción de datos y análisis, donde la creación artística opera simultáneamente como medio de exploración e interpretación. Se concluye que la IBA ofrece novedad epistémica al campo de la psicología al producir conocimiento riguroso usando otros sistemas de mediación cultural para producirlos.
