Abstract
ABSTRACT Narrative productions methodology (NPM) constitutes a social research technique that, within feminist epistemologies and, in particular, Haraway’s situated knowledge, seeks to produce partial knowledge from co-writing practices of research texts between researcher and participant. The question that emerges is the extent to which NPM goes beyond co-construction to involve a deeper sense of dialogism, in which alterity is not dissolved but remains as a tensioned difference. The aim of this paper is to explore how dialogizing NPM can improve narratives as a feminist research tool. This has political and epistemological implications, as in the construction of knowledge some validation mechanisms dominated by specific groups have been privileged. As a consequence, not all knowledge has the same recognition, and feminist epistemologies argue against this over-representation. The political and epistemological implications of these suggestions are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Qualitative Research in Psychology is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, original research. It aims to become the primary forum for qualitative researchers in all areas of psychology, including cognitive, social, developmental, educational, clinical, health, and forensic psychology. The journal also welcomes psychologically relevant qualitative research from other disciplines. It seeks innovative and pioneering work that advances the field of qualitative research in psychology.
The journal has published state-of-the-art debates on various research approaches, methods, and analytic techniques, such as discourse analysis, interpretative phenomenological analysis, visual analyses, and online research. It has also explored the role of qualitative research in fields like psychosocial studies and feminist psychology. Additionally, the journal has provided informative articles on ethics, transcription, interviewee recruitment, and has introduced innovative research techniques like photovoice, autoethnography, template analysis, and psychogeography.
While the predominant audience consists of psychology professionals using qualitative research methods in academic, clinical, or occupational settings, the journal has an interdisciplinary focus. It aims to raise awareness of psychology as a social science that encompasses various qualitative approaches.
In summary, Qualitative Research in Psychology is a leading forum for qualitative researchers in psychology. It publishes cutting-edge research, explores different research approaches and techniques, and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration.
