Abstract

This article unpacks the notion of ‘carrying’ as an embodied set of influences that bear upon our research practices and journeys. It is widely recognised that we acquire and carry a body of books as intellectual companionship. It is not however readily acknowledged how we as researchers carry sounds, aesthetics, traumas and obsessions, which stay with us and take time to appear before us, as methodological projects within our grasp. Researchers are carriers embarked on exchanges in a double sense. Firstly, we are embodied and affected by our life trajectories. There is a temporality to our research which is entwined with the very knots of our lives. Secondly, we are carriers through the specific ways in which we activate our research materials and relationships. In this article, the two elements of carrying are underlined as being intimately related.

作为方法进行：把身体当作档案来听

这篇文章揭示了“携带”的概念，它是对我们的研究实践和旅程产生的一系列具体影响。人们普遍认为，我们获得并携带大量书籍是智力上的伴侣。然而，作为研究人员，我们如何将声音、美学、创伤和痴迷作为我们掌握的方法论项目，这些东西一直伴随着我们，需要时间才能出现在我们面前，这一点还没有得到承认。研究人员是在双重意义上开始交流的载体。首先，我们被我们的生活轨迹所体现和影响。我们的研究有一种时间性，它与我们生活中的结纠缠在一起。其次，我们是通过特定方式激活我们的研究材料和关系的载体。在这篇文章中，携带的两个要素被强调为密切相关。
