    A ciência da sustentabilidade é marcada por um quarto de século de desenvolvimento conceitual e metodológico. Apesar da expansão bem-sucedida e de experiências promissoras, existem limitações a serem consideradas. Este artigo argumenta que novas metodologias e métodos precisam ser desenvolvidos e empregados para melhor compreender a complexidade qualitativa da vida humana, incluindo suas dimensões multissensoriais e estéticas. As perspectivas metodológicas da etnografia sensorial e da pesquisa baseada em artes são discutidas e é apresentado um estudo de caso, no qual foram empregados os métodos pertinentes. O artigo concluí com uma perspectiva sobre o potencial da ciência da sustentabilidade artística e sensorial.

    Sustainability science is marked by a quarter century of conceptual and methodological development. Despite successful expansion and promising experiences, there are limitations to be considered. This article argues that novel methodologies and methods need to be developed and employed to better grasp the qualitative complexity of human life, including its multisensorial and aesthetic dimensions. The methodological perspectives of sensory ethnography and arts-based research are discussed and a case study, in which pertinent methods have been employed, is presented. The article ends with an outlook on the potential of artful and sensory sustainability science.
