Silences and Refusals: A Posthuman Autoethnographic Account
Fri, April 14, 8:00 to 9:30am CDT (8:00 to 9:30am CDT), Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile, Floor: 4th Floor, Belmont - Avenue BallroomAbstract
In this posthuman autoethnography, the author reflects on the concepts of silences and refusals in (post)qualitative research. Thinking with New Tribalism (Anzaldua, 1999; Saavedra & Nymark, 2014) and new materialist theories (Barad, 2007; Braidotti, 2013; Haraway; 2013), the author engages in a diffractive methodological experimentation that demands attention to both the human and more-than-human (and the entanglements therein). Implications for (post)qualitative researchers and possibilities for (post)qualitative research that makes silences and refusals visible are explored.
