 Research-creation in universities: A sociohistorical perspective on a new form of research 
This article proposes a socio-historical framework of RC in Quebec. In keeping with Gingras’s (1991) research institutionalization model, three periods are described : a) the emergence of research-creation in Québec from the late 1960s to the 1980s ; b) the institutionalization of research-creation in the 1990s and 2000s ; c) the social identity and community of researcher-creators, from the 2000s to today. The socio-historical framing reveals turning points and tensions in each of the target periods, including the integration of professional artists into the university, the association of the term creation with the term research, the creation of a funding structure, the expansion of the research capacity and the creation of a pool of future researcher-creators through the development of graduate and postgraduate programs and the diversification of funding in the various universities.
