{"title":"With wings outstretched Reflections on belonging, solidarity and transformation following narrative informed group work with women","authors":"Leah Salter","doi":"10.28963/2.1.3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.28963/2.1.3","url":null,"abstract":"This paper presents and invites reflections on belonging, solidarity and \"being with\" from within and between a practice and research frame. The paper explores the interconnected stories of personal development and transformation that emerged from a four year doctoral research project whilst also paying appropriate attention to the practice context, which is centralised given that the research is practice-based. Deliberate connections are made between the author's own experiences of transformation and the stories of transformation that women who were part of the research have shared. In so doing the importance of solidarity and being with is privileged. In a climate where group work is often viewed as an efficient way to teach “psychological skills” to people who are viewed as lacking such skills, offering a different (relational) frame challenges the individualised, deficit-defined discourse.","PeriodicalId":422770,"journal":{"name":"Murmurations: Journal of Transformative Systemic Practice","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122279505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"An epilogue to two films A Cup of Instant Coffee - a van-dwellers’ assemblage and Come Dance my PhD","authors":"Alys Mendus","doi":"10.28963/2.1.6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.28963/2.1.6","url":null,"abstract":"These films intersect the rhizomatic space (Deleuze and Guattari 1980/1987) between doing, writing, sharing and living an itinerant PhD journey. They weave together my arts-based autoethnographic expression of exploring the less talked about aspects of my PhD experience. During my PhD I lived an itinerant life as a van-dweller in the UK, often travelling abroad for my research (Mendus 2017). I use itinerant here to mean of “no-fixed-abode” as I was constantly travelling, often sleeping in a van or at friends’ houses but not living in a fixed-home-dwelling. This piece is written as an epilogue, to support the thinking and process behind the arts-based, autoethnographic projects shown in the films. Although I use autoethnography, as defined by Spry, as “a self-narrative that critiques the situations of self with others in social contexts” (2001, p.710) I am always aware of the relational aspects and focus more on Spry’s later definition, that “autoethnography is not about ‘self’ but the wilful embodiment of ‘we’” (2016, p.15). Through this project I also used art-based research defined as, \"The use of personal expression in various art forms as a primary mode of enquiry. These studies may accompany or include the artistic expressions of others but their unique feature is the making of art by the researcher.\" (McNiff 2013, p.5)","PeriodicalId":422770,"journal":{"name":"Murmurations: Journal of Transformative Systemic Practice","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127575677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social collaboration is possible when “self” is regarded as relational and narrative.  Individualistic definition of self is critically viewed as an obstacle to social collaboration. I present my work as a family therapist in the form of a case vignette that shows how collaborative work between parties in conflict can significantly impact outcomes for the child and others in relations to “bullying” at school. I describe how I work with students, parents, and school staff to utilise conflict in a way that improves conditions for children and brings about change in school systems. From this, new possibilities become available to co-construct meaningful and dialogical conversations between parents and school administrators. My argument is that this form of collaboration with families and their children supports change at multi layers.","PeriodicalId":422770,"journal":{"name":"Murmurations: Journal of Transformative Systemic Practice","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116218051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What does it mean? Karen Barad, (2007) a contemporary feminist philosopher, inspired me to consider reflections as diffractions. In quantum physics, atoms behave in a way that can surprise scientists e.g. the noise of an atom being moved, an additional object in the field of observation, can create a new image, a new way of seeing the materiality of an atom. We tend to think of reflections as a faithful mirror which replicates the object/subject of observation; however, the idea of diffraction challenges us to consider that nothing of what we see and think is a true representation; it’s just one specific way of looking at things whilst missing noticing other things.","PeriodicalId":422770,"journal":{"name":"Murmurations: Journal of Transformative Systemic Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129959993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Lines of flight","authors":"Justine van Lawick","doi":"10.28963/2.1.2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.28963/2.1.2","url":null,"abstract":"I am worried about the long-lasting effects of the dominant, neo-liberal and capitalist systems that are having a devastating influence on planet Earth and on the life and relations of all the beings, human and non-human, living in this world. When Gregory Bateson wrote “Steps to an Ecology of Mind” (1974) and “Mind and Nature” (1979), he already made clear that human beings do not see the interconnectedness of everything, and because we do not see it, we break it. The breaking of connections has created fractures, wounds and fragmentations in nature, between people, between humans and non-humans: animals, plants and other matter. This has created a gigantic ecological crisis and a profoundly unethical and unjust world with an ever-growing gap between the rich and the poor, the people with resources and those without. We perform our systemic practice in this context.  What is our responsibility? In what way can we resist the destructive powers and support actions of hope: lines of flight (Guattari 2015)? We can find inspiration in other areas where activists formulate manifestos as a start of other hopeful practices. In this paper, I give the example of a group of journalists that started The Correspondent and I invite all readers to think about actions that we could start, maybe with a manifesto for systemic practices? \u0000  \u0000Abstract (Dutch) \u0000  \u0000Ik maak me zorgen over de langdurige effecten van het dominante, neo-liberale en kapitalistische systeem die een vernietigende invloed hebben op de planeet aarde en op het leven en de relaties van alle wezens, menselijk en niet menselijk, die in deze wereld leven. Toen Gregory Bateson “Steps to an Ecology of Mind” (1974) en “Mind and Nature” (1979) schreef, maakte hij al duidelijk dat wij mensen niet zien hoe alles met alles verbonden is en omdat we het niet zien verbreken we de verbindingen. Dat verbreken heeft fracturen, wonden en fragmentatie veroorzaakt  in de natuur, tussen personen, tussen mensen en niet mensen: dieren, planten en andere  materie. Dit heeft een enorme ecologische crisis veroorzaakt en een wezenlijk onethische en onrechtvaardige wereld met een groeiende kloof tussen de rijken en de armen en mensen met of juist zonder toegang tot middelen.  Wij voeren onze systemische praktijken uit in deze context. Wat is onze verantwoordelijkheid? Op welke manier kunnen we ons verzetten tegen de destructieve krachten en acties van hoop: lines of flight (Guattari 2015) ondersteunen? We kunnen inspiratie vinden in andere gebieden waar activisten manifesten formuleren als een begin van andere, hoopvolle praktijken. In dit artikel geef ik het voorbeeld van een groep journalisten die de Correspondent startten en ik nodig alle lezers uit om na te denken over acties die wij kunnen starten, misschien met een manifest voor systemische praktijken?","PeriodicalId":422770,"journal":{"name":"Murmurations: Journal of Transformative Systemic Practice","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123208179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
