ABSTRACT This essay reflects on creative imagination in people on the autism spectrum. A key diagnostic criterion for autism- restricted and repetitive behaviours and interests- together with a small number of research studies, suggest that generating original ideas or artefacts may be challenging for autistic people. Yet a minority within this population has exceptional artistic gifts, and a wider group embraces activities typically associated with creative expression, including visual art, music, poetry and theatre. One approach to reconciling these divergent profiles has been to attribute accomplished work by autistic artists to cognitive skills other than creativity, notably exceptional memory, meticulously accurate representation or ‘rule-following’. I suggest that this involves an aesthetic double standard, since styles such as realism are not considered antithetical to creativity when employed by neurotypical or non-autistic artists. The notion that autistic art constitutes a unified stylistic genre is in any case overly reductive, as illustrated by the varied character of both poetry and visual art by this group. Moreover, ‘Outsider Art’, a movement which undoubtedly promotes neurodiverse artists, also risks insulating their work from mainstream aesthetic standards. Autistic art, whether or not characterised by particular motifs and subject matter, calls for a nuanced and inclusive concept of creativity. My reflection starts with a poem, an appropriate medium to express my captivation with the paradox and promise of autistic art, and how it inspires my own imagination. It ends by highlighting the positive potential of creative activities for all with autism.

ABSTRACT It is important to find constructive avenues for breaking the silence and taboo around suicide on both a personal and societal level. This collage of words and images is an iteration based on the extensive research that resulted in the award winning documentary film, The Hidden Face of Suicide. The film enters the world of survivors, those who lost family to suicide, and tells their remarkable stories through the use of mask making and interviews. The survivors expressed that the process of creating masks, telling their stories, and witnessing the positive audience response, gave them a sense of meaning and hope and decreased their feelings of being isolated and stigmatized. After screening the film to diverse audiences internationally, and upon further reflection on the making of the film and the audience responses, the author expresses the findings in another creative medium adding another layer to the tapestry of this process.

ABSTRACT In the twenty-first century, asexuality has become synonymous with sexual orientation, being described as a ‘lack’ of sexual attraction. At this juncture, a study of female (a) sexualities is long overdue. First, little has been written on the topic. Second, with the rise of a postfeminist culture, asexual-identified women are being framed within static narratives of frigidity or spiritual devotion. In response, this paper develops the concept of Zorbitality. Zorbitality is a resistant imaginary, which seeks to reconfigure female (a)sexualities through collective ecstatic motion. It harnesses the historical transformation and cultural hybridity of Afro-diasporic rhythms, to interrogate the Western thought systems that constrain women’s ecstatic movement. The paper draws on two methodologies: Deleuzian feminist cartographies and collective biography. These methodologies speak to a posthuman concern with reaching an enhanced sense of the collective, through the affective intensity of each moment. Two dance narratives frame the analysis: Stravinsky’s twentieth-century ballet, The Rite of Spring, where a sacrificial ‘virgin’ dances herself to death, and West African Yoruba dance, characterised by solo dance within a collective. These narratives interweave in the memory of my research respondent, Martha. This memory evokes the uncreolised African body, which enables Martha to ethically open to human and non-human others.

ABSTRACT Within this article we argue that Karl Popper’s philosophical approach of critical rationalism has often been erroneously subsumed under the positivistic epistemological paradigm in the literature on qualitative and quantitative approaches in the social sciences. In other highly influential publications on this issue, critical rationalism has been regarded as merely a small and superficial improvement of naive positivism (post-positivism; e.g. Guba & Lincoln, 1994). In contrast, we argue that Popper was a staunch anti-positivist and that his approach is much closer to the epistemological beliefs that seem to underlie most of qualitative research. Beyond a mere pragmatism in doing whatever is useful, critical rationalism could serve as a guiding epistemology for all social scientific research as long as all aspects of the methodological approach are open to pertinent criticism themselves.

ABSTRACT Whilst encounters in psychology are typically experienced relationally, qualitative dyadic research in psychology is relatively rare. This study used qualitative dyadic research to understand psychological therapy assessments, exploring how experiences are actively created through situated, relational encounters. Seven dyads participated in qualitative semi-structured interviews, predominantly from services for trauma survivors. Thematic dyadic analysis explored a third space, distinct from the experiential knowledge of individuals. We found that clients and assessors balance closeness and distance through enacting aspects of their identities impacting on connection, safety, trust and disclosures. Whilst assessors and clients come together as strangers, human beings, experts, collaborators and, at times, survivors, the key determining factor shaping the encounter is how successfully assessors communicate their humanity. We conclude that dyadic qualitative inquiry is a feasible and rich method for understanding the relational in psychological healthcare encounters.

ABSTRACT This paper introduces quality markers common to Discursive Psychology (DP) – a qualitative approach for examining talk and text. We offer a guide for researchers using DP and reviewers evaluating DP research studies. Specifically, we describe a framework involving three key domains, including: quality in data collection and management, quality in the process of analysis, and quality as related to validity and reliability. For each domain, we introduce the related quality indicators. In addition, to the lay the foundation, we briefly overview discourse analysis writ large.

ABSTRACT Developing a universal quality standard for thematic analysis (TA) is complicated by the existence of numerous iterations of TA that differ paradigmatically, philosophically and procedurally. This plurality in TA is often not recognised by editors, reviewers or authors, who promote ‘coding reliability measures’ as universal requirements of quality TA. Focusing particularly on our reflexive TA approach, we discuss quality in TA with reference to ten common problems we have identified in published TA research that cites or claims to follow our guidance. Many of the common problems are underpinned by an assumption of homogeneity in TA. We end by outlining guidelines for reviewers and editors – in the form of twenty critical questions – to support them in promoting high(er) standards in TA research, and more deliberative and reflexive engagement with TA as method and practice.

ABSTRACT Membership categorization analysis focuses on studying how people categorize each other in interaction. Even though the role of observation has been acknowledged within this methodological approach, it has mainly been used to analyze oral and written communication. This study focuses on examining how membership categorization analysis can be applied to person perception. It elucidates the procedure with two examples where students in a vocational upper secondary college in Finland perceived portrait paintings and reflected in writing what kind of teachers the people depicted in them would be. Drawing on the theorization of person perception and membership categorization analysis, the study suggests a model for applying membership categorization analysis in person perception and discusses its relevance to social interaction.

ABSTRACT This article has three aims. First, it will set out the ‘potentiating’ premises of video-reflexive ethnography (VRE) and the ways in which VRE potentiates learning through visual feedback as ‘self-irritant’ that invites ‘liminalisation’. Liminalisation invites people to learn by stepping away from their taken-as-given ways of being and saying. Potentiation capitalises on this loosening of identification with what is assumed to be the real, thereby expanding people’s action potential. The article’s second aim is to exemplify what VRE looks like in and as practice. Two case studies provide instances of liminalisation. This leads into the article’s third aim: to reflect on research quality in relation to liminalisation and potentiation. This part of the paper explains that VRE’s quality standard turns on two ‘relational’ indicators that apply to both the researchers’ and the participants’ conducts and experiences: engagement and movement. The article theorises engagement as a measure of researchers’ and participants’ investment in the overall VRE process. Movement is theorised as the pace and degree of liminalisation experienced and potentiation achieved through people’s psychosocial becoming (undone).

ABSTRACT This study engaged children as research allies throughout the research process from developing research questions to authorship. Our approach recognises children’s right to participation under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child by developing a form of inquiry that invited children’s critique of adult knowledge and authority. The project was fully co-constructed with children, with adults who guided them through planning, analysis and authorship. We discuss our reflections on the children’s lived experience of Allyship itself, with the issues raised by children in focus groups and interviews illuminating this methodological approach. We conclude that children see and accept adult failings and seek to contribute to social worlds, and that these priorities have been enacted in their lived experience of this project. Our approach provides a platform for further endeavours in Allyship with children in the fields of qualitative psychology and childhood studies. Words; 146
