Research as a field of disputation between different stakeholder's and about competing concepts

ENIt's difficult to speak about these roles - as academic, teacher/educator, curator - in relation to a concept such as research, which in itself is such a difficult field to discuss. There is an academic version of research, there is an artistic one, a curatorial one, and what else...? We can speak here about the basic research or fundamental research, also - applied research. And there are a lot of accompanying questions too: about for instance whether artistic research is an applied too research or it is a basic, fundamental research? How can we even agree on a concept of research? I think it is impossible. There are hundreds of coexisting and competing concepts of research.
