Using examples drawn from letters written by rural youth from the western Canadian province of British Columbia during the interwar period, I explore three interrelated interpretive strategies or dispositions for amplifying young peoples’ contributions to history: empathic inference, relational agency, and the axiom that children are heirs to the future. The letters are part of a larger archival collection of the province’s Elementary Correspondence School, the first of its kind in Canada, and provide historians with uniquely valuable child and youth focused perspectives on schooling, family, work, and other aspects of their lives. Supported by examples from the letters, I argue that young peoples’ contributions to historical change are most clearly legible when interpretive strategies, including the historical methods and methodological dispositions historians adopt, reject traditional conceptions of history as exclusively or mainly adult driven.

In this short essay I offer a few reflections on how Norman Denzin has influenced my life, friendships, and scholarship. I feel there is little I can say or do that would match the gratitude I feel, so I offer a song.

At the Second International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (May 2006), the authors, then graduate students, interviewed Norman Denzin for Carolyn Ellis’s Advanced Qualitative Methods graduate course at the University of South Florida. Only a few parts of the interview had ever been published. The authors include the transcript of the interview here.

The path toward coming home to an embodied sense of wholeness in queer identity is often a long journey marked by personal severance. For trans and non-binary people, the arts have become an invaluable space for reclamative wayfinding and liberation. Artistic pathways offer processes to (re)presence the severed parts of ourselves that were laid down to survive in a binary framework that collapses wholeness. Here, I offer forward a sartorial expression of non-binary poiesis as a reclamative act of (re)weaving the lost threads of self. In the disassembling of my adopted aesthetic, sewing and sartorial expressions become a pathway home to wholeness in queer body, where (re)stitching binary endpoints gestures toward a third space for belonging.

Aniin. Boozhoo. Tansi. I identify as Anishinaabe and Metis on my late mother’s side and of Celtic-Germanic ancestry on my father’s side. I was arriving: exploring healing and knowing in my own creation(s) is a métissage, sharing moments of a life lived in longing to become a good relation, a useful medicine, to the beings in this world of anguish and dis-ease. This is a re-presencing of some teachings I have received from the interstitial spaces of making, and writing poetry, allowing me a place to fall into when I don’t know where to go or what to do. This work is an honoring of the oral/storytelling tradition—a sharing of what I have come to know in this walk—the medicines living in me. Making puts us in our bodies where we are forced to feel the suffering and joys of others. In this embodied walk, we, hopefully, become models for others to do the same, thus creating spaces where folx are invited to grow their capacity to answer the calls to justice for All Our Relations.

This is my response, from the heart, to the loss of Norm Denzin. The invitation to contribute to this special issue, focussing on remembering Norm, gave me a chance to find words to talk about what his loss meant to me, and to find words to say just how profound has been the contribution he made to the world—and will go on making.

Autoethnographers write about culture and cultural practice by primarily writing about their own experience—about themselves. This article asks who—or what—the “self” is that autoethnographers engage with, study, and write about. It argues that the ethnographic self is not just the object and agent of the autoethnographic research process but also a product of it, particularly of autoethnographic writing. Doing autoethnography is less a matter of writing up, than of writing into existence the self that is the prerequisite of the research in the first place. Drawing on Mead’s distinction of a pre-reflexive “I” and a reflexive “Me” as oscillating phases of the social self, the article develops a typology for analytically distinguishing the multiple “I”s and “Me”s that make up the autoethnographic self: in the field, in fieldnotes, and in other types of ethnographic texts. Autoethnographic Positioning Analysis is applied to fieldnotes and analytical texts from an ongoing research project to illustrate how these different selves are produced and related to each other in a way that results in fieldnotes (or other texts) passing as accounts of “the” ethnographic self. This not only helps accomplish the shift between familiarization and alienation with the field (and one’s self) that is crucial for analytic and reflexive ethnography but can give insights into the social and moral structure of the field. Far from the notion of autoethnography as self-absorbed “mesearch,” this article argues that good autoethnography is indeed a methodical search for a reflexive “Me” in the field(-notes).

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.
