Abstract

In this paper, I offer an autoethnography of academic work and imagination. I write as an “armchair traveler” who joins others in research endeavors that they have initiated. Imagination takes center stage in what I do: I use my imagination in analyzing empirical materials and in theorizing and writing meaningful research. Together with others, I engage in studies where I am close to the subject of inquiry and feel sameness, but also in research that for me is grounded in difference and otherness. Through my autoethnography, I elucidate the potential and limits of imagination in different research initiatives. Reflecting on my experiences and learning, I discuss how imagination relates to ethico-politics in doing research. I argue that imagination thrives in small acts of generosity in research collaboration, which harbor a sense of togetherness and solidarity. This has implications for understanding academic work that is obsessed with performance in publishing.
学术工作与想象:一个扶手椅旅行者的思考
在本文中,我提供了一个学术工作和想象的自我民族志。我以“扶手椅旅行者”的身份写作,加入其他人发起的研究努力。想象力在我的工作中占据了中心位置:我用我的想象力来分析经验材料,理论化和撰写有意义的研究。与他人一起,我从事的研究,我接近探究的主题和感觉相同,但也研究,对我来说是基于差异和他者。通过我的自我民族志,我阐明了不同研究活动中想象力的潜力和局限性。反思我的经验和学习,我讨论了在做研究时想象力是如何与伦理政治联系在一起的。我认为,想象力在研究合作中的小小慷慨举动中蓬勃发展,这孕育了一种团结和团结的感觉。这对理解痴迷于出版表现的学术工作具有启示意义。
