| Abstract | The need for social as well as academic impact in social science research is now well established. Art is increasingly being explored as a means of generating social impact, most commonly as a way to engage publics with research findings, but to date with little exploration of the process of engagement itself. In this study, we set out to explore the power of art to engage the public. We do this by examining the ‘affective’ experience of engagement through a qualitative investigation using one-to-one interviews and a modified visual matrix exercise. In this article we report on the findings from our analysis of the affective experience of watching a film series, and through this discuss the use of film to communicate research findings and value of a novel qualitative psychosocial methodology for exploring the process of public engagement. © The Author(s) 2019. |
Art as a pathway to impact: Understanding the affective experience of public engagement with film. In this article we report the findings from our psychosocial exploration of the affective experience of the film series discuss the value of using film to communicate research findings and demonstrate how the psychosocial meth- odology outlined herein provides the means to conduct a process-oriented assessment of impact through public engagement. This identification with the apparatus of the film particularly the apparent intention of the filmmakers is challenging because it can subvert the process of engagement itself. Thinking through the lens of what affects do we inadvertently produced a dividing line between engagement in the emotional presentness of the material particularly its authenticity and detachment resulting from a frustrated critical stance at least in part as a result of the perceived breach in viewing contract. The impact of the social sciences: How academics and their research make a difference.
