Abstract

ABSTRACT This article presents reflections on using the listening guide, focusing on reflexive work with voice poems. It is based on research which explored the stories of ten young adult women who experienced parental domestic abuse in childhood. A dialogical theory is used to reflect on the process of working with three voice poems, showing that we engage with the material we work with in embodied, emotional, and personal ways. It considers working with voice poems as a ‘way in’ to our own stories and selves, by way of moving beyond empathy and attending to discomfort as a bodymind reflexive practice. Reflexivity is therefore not a mind-based activity that relies on declaring and engaging with a unitary self. Rather, researchers are dialogical selves that are both affected by, and that affect, the material we work with. This has implications for domestic abuse research where survivor-victim voices tend to be smoothened out resulting in dominant, binary narratives that risk reproducing epistemic injustices. This article concludes that poetic inquiry can be considered a method of resistance to such epistemological injustices, using bodymind reflexive engagement with our own selves, and examining the implications of this for knowledge production.

女权主义者的倾听和成长:声音诗作为一种处理年轻女性童年家庭虐待故事的方法
摘要本文对听力引导的使用进行了反思,重点介绍了语音诗的反射性工作。它是基于一项研究,该研究探讨了十名年轻成年女性在童年时期遭受父母家庭虐待的故事。对话理论被用来反思三声诗的创作过程,表明我们以具体的、情感的和个人的方式参与创作。它认为,创作有声诗是一种“进入”我们自己的故事和自我的方式,超越同理心,将不适视为一种身心反射练习。因此,自反不是一种基于心智的活动,它依赖于宣告和参与一个单一的自我。相反,研究人员是对话的自我,既受我们所研究的材料的影响,也影响我们所研究材料。这对家庭虐待研究有影响,在家庭虐待研究中,幸存者-受害者的声音往往会被平滑,从而产生主导的二元叙事,有可能再现认识上的不公正。这篇文章的结论是,诗歌探究可以被视为一种抵抗这种认识论不公正的方法,使用身心反射性地参与我们自己,并考察这对知识生产的影响。

期刊介绍: Qualitative Research in Psychology is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, original research. It aims to become the primary forum for qualitative researchers in all areas of psychology, including cognitive, social, developmental, educational, clinical, health, and forensic psychology. The journal also welcomes psychologically relevant qualitative research from other disciplines. It seeks innovative and pioneering work that advances the field of qualitative research in psychology. The journal has published state-of-the-art debates on various research approaches, methods, and analytic techniques, such as discourse analysis, interpretative phenomenological analysis, visual analyses, and online research. It has also explored the role of qualitative research in fields like psychosocial studies and feminist psychology. Additionally, the journal has provided informative articles on ethics, transcription, interviewee recruitment, and has introduced innovative research techniques like photovoice, autoethnography, template analysis, and psychogeography. While the predominant audience consists of psychology professionals using qualitative research methods in academic, clinical, or occupational settings, the journal has an interdisciplinary focus. It aims to raise awareness of psychology as a social science that encompasses various qualitative approaches. In summary, Qualitative Research in Psychology is a leading forum for qualitative researchers in psychology. It publishes cutting-edge research, explores different research approaches and techniques, and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration.
