In this article, I trace my own research practice in a process of unlearning from an individual self-reflexive approach. Striving towards a more participatory and collective approach, I turn my attention to relational aspects between people, materials and discourses, and give them a central role in knowledge production as I move and find myself being moved in and out of apparently incommensurable paradigms: the qualitative and the post-qualitative; the humanist and the post-humanist; the post-humanist and the decolonial. I will unpack some of the emerging challenges, tensions and potentials as a becoming researcher pushing against boundaries in a space of conventional academic expectations within my researcher education.

This article explores string – what string does, makes possible, and makes happen –as lively matter in co-compos(t)ing human-nonhuman objects, bodies and space. Based on the happenings-doings-thinking generated from a recent workshop, and taking a line of flight with-from Haraway’s (2016) Staying with the Trouble, the article considers how string figuring co-compos(t)ings can work as a post-qualitative experimental feminist materialist/posthumanist research-creation practice which moves outside normative research methods. The article develops a stringly-thingly methodology to explore string figuring’s temporal and spatial possibilities, and propose a theorisation of ‘regard’ which works as a feminist materialist enactment of response-ability which makes better futures in the here-and-now become do-able and thinkable. The theory-method-praxis we propose is an orientation of/for co-compos(t)ing feminist hope.
本文探讨了字符串——字符串所做的、使之成为可能的和使之发生的事情——作为共同构成人类-非人类物体、身体和空间的活泼物质。基于最近一次研讨会产生的“发生-做-思考”,并借鉴Haraway(2016)的《与麻烦同在》(Staying with the Trouble),本文考虑了弦乐组合作品如何作为一种超越规范研究方法的后定性实验女性主义唯物主义/后人文主义研究-创作实践。本文发展了一种弦-物的方法论来探索弦图形的时间和空间可能性,并提出了一种“关注”的理论化,它作为一种女权主义唯物主义的反应能力的制定,使此时此地的美好未来变得可行和可想象。我们提出的理论-方法-实践是一种共同构成女性主义希望的取向。

This article explores some of the challenges encountered when being a white researcher engaged in research that aims at contributing to social justice for marginalized, indigenous and racialized people and perspectives. Drawing upon a combination of theoretical investigations and practical experiences made during the process of a PhD study, the author offers reflections on what implications taking on a decolonial perspective might have for how a white researcher can possibly approach questions of social and cognitive justice without reinscribing privilege or resorting to self-righteousness. Inspired by Pillow (2015), the author argues that in order to do this, reflexivity need not only be interpretive, but also genealogical, and allow for a “reflexivity of reflexivity”. Furthermore, it is argued that the decolonial stance brings self-reflexivity and ethics together through centring relations as key in accounting for positionality.

Taking up Haraway’s (1997, 2016) and Barad’s (2007) diffraction I, co-constituted with theory, participant, audio, text, materials, perform an embodied diffractive analysis of the data from one research study. I begin by reckoning with Barad’s objectivity in knowledge production connecting her thinking back through Heisenberg and Bohr. Then, I attend to the specific material arrangements of data production across interconnecting levels. Next, I describe a thought experiment in diffractive methodology. The result is my embodied engagement with and reading across and through the research productions to draw attention to and attend to the differences produced through various material arrangements (https://youtu.be/7JzIeiozzVM).

This paper presents a sketchbook on the concept of seduction. A sketchbook is a collection of episodic moments of musings through a particular philosophical concept. It operates between the notion of philosophy as method and issues related to the articulation of qualitative inquiry. In this instance, seduction is seen as the urging into the indefatigable unknown of the initial moments preceding inquiry. This paper proposes shifting perspective from research design to an attunement into immanence.

Guidance to the readers: This conceptual paper discusses seduction as a form of light obsession. We are especially interested in thinking about/with/in fabulating concepts as one of the vital, yet slightly seductive, parts of academic research. The vitality and obsessivity in thinking, writing and researching, also speak to seduction’s influence in making concepts, in articulating experiences, and in creating new language and knowledge with/in Academia. We explore seduction in the fabulation of concepts through various spaces and practices. We hold here, that, in this process of fabulation, scholars, data, theories, concepts, and matter, both seduce and are seduced. In the attempt to illustrate the workings of seduction, and to offer examples of conceptualizing our experience of being seduced in these fabulations, we draw upon two altogether different kind of events; theoretically seductive encounters between two scholars, and a methodologically seductive workshop with graduate students. We use Manning, Massumi, Deleuze and Baudrillard as conversation partners to think fabulation through seductive relationality, a focus which lets our dialogues pivot around in more or less intentional ways

Returning is a paradox; even more so as an orientation to(wards) the seductive forces that we return (to) throughout this special Issue. One can return and never return all at once. Return is like a wave; it turns itself – returns that never return to how it was in the beginning. There is no clearly identifiable beginning; there is no end or ending. This introduction desires to do exactly that: to fold our academic-writing-matter in the mess and mass of such academic workings. Theory and theoretical contexts seduce us and we would like to share some forces of that seduction with you, our readers. And yet! We sit in this writing with the (im)possibilities in such desires for sharing. Seduction might not communicate itself, might not show its character and elements, and it might not even produce something tangible and sharable. In such absence, will seduction be at work then? Will diffractive forces of seduction be muted and decapitated? Might the seduced and seductive body of academic-writing-matter matter in its absence? This introduction will … [hmmm! This impulse to identify a neat start, an originary point, operates as a such a strong force]

The contribution is an uncertain experiment; a series of fractured and fabulated video (re)turnings that tell on and in the seductive forces making (im)possible claims to know, and takes the form of fragmentary visual re-tellings of the becoming research(er) body. These visual re-tellings are assembled in video format and can be viewed at this link https://youtu.be/aulMQNEDhGo . This ‘paper’ contributes to ongoing debates that seek shifts from representationalist research foundations. The (re)turnings (the visual re-tellings) offered here pose questions of what is at stake for qualitative researchers in (dis)claiming the ‘I’ that legitimates them as researching bodies; they expose the limits of reason, the precarity of being thus – seduced by and in discipline, reason and rigor, and contained in and by bodies of research.
