HI Kip,

No better scholar in this regard than Maxine Greene (in my view).

Greene, M. (1997). Metaphors and multiples: Representation, the arts, and history. Phi Delta Kappan, 78(5), 387-394.

Ayers, W., & Miller, J. L. (Eds.). (1998). A light in dark times: Maxine Greene and the unfinished conversation. New York: Teachers College Press.

Greene, M. (2001). Variations on a blue guitar: The Lincoln Centre Institute lectures on aesthetic education. New York: Teachers College Press.

The (re)presentation of narrative research benefits
greatly from embracing the art of its craft. This
requires a renewed interest in an aesthetic of
storytelling.  Where do we find an aesthetic in which
to base our new ‘performative’ social science?  

What does 'beauty' mean in a postmodern world?

Where is aesthetic judgement located?

There are no definitive answers, only discussion. I
look forward to a lively one on this topic!

Cheers,
Kip
