It describes multiple “figured worlds” (Holland, et al., 1998) as the context of identity negotiation in the lives of these children. Findings also reveal multi-layered fluidity among figured worlds, children’s authoring in negotiating figured worlds, and the possible influence of the family’s pre-migration trauma on identity. The article argues that to support the well-being of second-generation refugee children and their families, we need to understand the multiplicity of refugee children’s identity and how children construct their figured worlds using resources from their multiple communities.","PeriodicalId":90874,"journal":{"name":"International review of qualitative research : IRQR","volume":"15 1","pages":"571 - 589"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45502369","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}

We explore writing against systems of oppression and writing through materials of resistance. Writing through can ignite the seething potentiality of a breaking through, and a writing towards the not-yet-known of other lives. We sense this as an unleashing that can act as a challenge to the self-perpetuating autopoieses that neoliberal autonomies and competitive frameworks require. Writing through materials of resistance offers an inducement to work towards the social capaciousness and the thinking with those collective orientations. Writing through refuses the surrender of freedom and offers, through practices of speculation, fabulation and experimentation, an animation of movement that can tap into the capacious fugitive energies of emergent and new collective futures.","PeriodicalId":90874,"journal":{"name":"International review of qualitative research : IRQR","volume":"15 1","pages":"501 - 510"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49187055","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}

My time is upon me, I can feel it quickening, some performance of mine...” That prescient utterance would become the opening lines of Nursing Mother—my first solo show performed in the Kleinau Theatre in 1998—that braided stories of my mother’s death and Hannah’s birth in order to critique the medical technologies that supersede women’s bodily authority and autonomy. Nursing Mother emerged from me at an historic juncture in my life as a newly tenured, newly motherless, mother of 2, and at an historic moment in my discipline as Performance Studies was grappling with the emergent form of autoethnography and “the politics of solo performance” as in the millenial of TPQ where Nursing Mother would appear. Looking back with the hindsight-insight of 20 years, I can see that Nursing Mother became my touchstone as an autoethnographic performance poet through an esthetic that would guide my solo work for 2 decades: specifically, a sustained, highly cadenced poetic text, structured into titled cantos; interlaced with interlocking imagery— preferably alliterative—staged around a single chair on a bare stage, used in as many different ways as I could choreograph. Nursing Mother has continued to nurture me as I have performed excerpts from the show, and 10 years ago, shared it here at QI, as the keynote performance. But it is the nature of memory to seek out new gestational cycles, to push repeatedly against the muscle of articulation, that narrative cervix through which autoethnography brings experience to matter and to meaning.","PeriodicalId":90874,"journal":{"name":"International review of qualitative research : IRQR","volume":"15 1","pages":"486 - 489"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46107135","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}

It does so not as a critique but as a way to make the Laclauian approach more operational and rigorous from a methodological perspective. The key goal is to make available a form of discourse analysis that centers on the political sphere and has two key characteristics. The first is an emphasis on the role of what Antonio Gramsci called “organic ideologies” in political identity-building. The second is the differentiation between a descriptive and a subjective level of analysis. The article intends to initiate a debate on the prospects of the Laclauian approach both with its advocates and its detractors.","PeriodicalId":90874,"journal":{"name":"International review of qualitative research : IRQR","volume":"15 1","pages":"326 - 346"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43988297","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}
