Abstract

Research with communities, even co-produced research with a commitment to social justice, can be limited by its expression in conventional disciplinary language and format. Vibrant, warm and sometimes complex encounters with community partners become contained through the gesture of representation. In this sense, 'writing up' can actually become a kind of slow violence towards participants, projects and ourselves. As a less conventional and containable form of expression, poetry offers an alternative to the power games of researching 'on' communities and writing it up. It is excessive in the sense that it goes beyond the cycles of reduction and representation, allowing the expression of subjective (and perhaps sometimes even contradictory) impressions from participants. In this cowritten paper we explore poetry as a social research method through subjective testimony and in the light of our Connected Communities-funded projects (Imagine, Threads of Time and Taking Yourself Seriously), where poetry as method came to the fore as a way of hearing and representing voices differently.
诗歌作为一种方法——试图以不同的方式看世界
与社区合作进行的研究,即使是致力于社会正义的共同研究,也可能受到传统学科语言和格式的限制。与社区伙伴的充满活力、温暖和有时复杂的接触通过代表的姿态得到遏制。从这个意义上说,“写”实际上可以成为一种对参与者、项目和我们自己的缓慢暴力。作为一种不那么传统和可控的表达形式,诗歌为研究社区并将其写下来的权力游戏提供了另一种选择。从某种意义上说,它超越了还原和再现的循环,允许参与者表达主观(有时甚至是矛盾的)印象。在这篇合著的论文中,我们通过主观证词和我们的连接社区资助的项目(想象,时间的线索和认真对待自己)来探索诗歌作为一种社会研究方法,诗歌作为一种方法脱颖而出,成为一种不同的倾听和表达声音的方式。
