{"title":"Children’s Creations and Archiving Practices: Methodological Matters Special Issue Introduction","authors":"Melissa Freeman, Elliott Kuecker","doi":"10.1177/10778004231198269","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/10778004231198269","url":null,"abstract":"This introduction provides a context for the collection of essays that follow in this special issue on research methodology related to studying children’s creations in archives. First, we center children’s creations as significant sources for interdisciplinary researchers interested in learning more about children’s contributions to history, the historical record, and childhood studies. We then describe some of the politics and practices—including preservation, cataloging, and circulation—within formal and informal archiving that may have implications for scholars attempting to use archived children’s creations. We then offer some examples of research that focus on children’s perspectives, accounts, or archival sources, highlighting some of the ethical concerns these have raised. Finally, we introduce the papers that make up this issue, with contributions from many disciplines and discussions of several media types.","PeriodicalId":48395,"journal":{"name":"Qualitative Inquiry","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136353537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Harris Papers, specifically a series of children’s drawings “about the war,” this article engages the concept of attunement as a strategy to address the challenges of encountering children’s creations from the past. The article begins with an introduction to the concept of attunement, drawing into dialogue the work of Erin Manning and Jane Bennett, for example, as well as related scholarship from art education, qualitative studies, and childhood studies. This introduction is then used to express how the concept of attunement has been central to the author’s approach to researching childhood art. After discussing the connection between attunement and the author’s practice as a researcher, the idea of archival attunements is introduced, a turn of phrase used to animate the experiences, potentials, and challenges of encountering children’s art from the past.","PeriodicalId":48395,"journal":{"name":"Qualitative Inquiry","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135740422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Six teacher characters were composed from 12 research participants for Connections, an ethnodrama that highlights the importance of cultural identity when engaging with teaching for reconciliation between First Nations and non-Indigenous Australians. This article presents the author’s ethnodrama methodology, as well as excerpts from the ethnodrama itself, before unpacking complexities related to composing characters’ cultural identities. It is suggested that composing characters protects participant anonymity but opens new possibilities and uncertainties that should be carefully considered as part of the ethnodramatic process.","PeriodicalId":48395,"journal":{"name":"Qualitative Inquiry","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135387473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that history will be better placed when historians write more openly about the inherently distressing nature of the materials they consume. It is impossible to be unaffected by such material and acknowledging this will make our work more transparent by outlining to readers the context it was written in. The complex, emotive interpretive task historians face is demonstrated using two children’s drawings—one from the Spanish Civil War and the other from the Darfur Genocide.","PeriodicalId":48395,"journal":{"name":"Qualitative Inquiry","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135535710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
