Mediums used and promoted in pedagogic art handbooks: three cases of the XX century

This work, interested in handbooks for education and artistic production, proposes to review a selection of three texts, Arte de proyectar en arquitectura (Neufert, 2013 Spanish edition); The fluxus performance workbook (Friedman, 2002 edition); and Hacia una educación sonora (Murray, 2006 Spanish edition), with the objective of identifying in each one the presence of multi, inter and/or transmedia features, to later compare them with each other. These handbooks were selected for having been created as pedagogies, be it architectural ergonomics, actions, or sound, during the last century. Although all of them were originated in different fields, this essay seeks to recognize the mediums used and promoted, as well as to analyze the relationship between them. Our intention is to point out similarities and differences that allow us to better understand them from the perspective that was set.
