Rethinking Resistance as Relational – Resisting Psychologization in Psychology: Lessons from Carrère’s Between Two Worlds
Psychology, and in particular mainstream positive psychology, is fuelled by discourses on resistance strategies, understood as the individual capacity to resist and adapt to negative and oppressive thoughts, circumstances, experiences, and social structures. This self-strategy of resistance is evident in positive psychology’s notions of resilience: grit, life-crafting, and job-crafting behaviors, for example. While positive psychology would have …
Data Becomings: Bridge/Bridging Data-Trails in Qualitative Inquiry
This article plays with research-creation possibilities to interrogate data, data trails, and their becomings in qualitative inquiry. It arises through the inspiration of the authors' experiences in experimenting with data-trails: a specific mode of thinking-doing for speculative research-creation possibilities. By placing these experiences alongside conventional discourses and protocols of research practice, the article ponders on a series of et…
Translating Interviews, interpreting lives: Bi-Lingual Research Analysis Informing Less Westernised Views of International Student Mobility
There are increasing instances in which researchers study their migrant co-nationals in one language but report their research findings in another language. This raises significant issues regarding the mediating role played by bilingual researcher-translators when translating research data: the decisions they make when bringing the Other's world to their readers, and the strategies they adopt when making such decisions. These issues of data trans…
Tags, tagging, tagged, # - undisciplining organ-ization of [academic] bodies
We write as a collaborative mode of embodied writing that moves, tags, and re-sites us elsewhere, that mis/dis/aligns self-other, and permeates various stable body(boundaries). We write as a group of (un)bounded (virtual) bodies who aim to collectively create and tag arguments. We write as a collective body where materialities, ideas, discussions and writing become in the doing. Different relational collective practices shared here disturb, dispe…
Autopsy as a site and mode of inquiry: De/Composing the Ghoulish Hu/Man Gaze
For centuries the autopsy has been a key technology in Western culture for generating clinical/medical as well as cultural knowledge about bodies. This article hails the anato-medical autopsy as a generative trope and apparatus in reconfiguring Western humanist knowledge of bodies and bodies of knowledge and takes up the possibilities of working with the concept of autopsy in disrupting qualitative research methodology. In doing so, the article o…
Knowledge Production in Material Spaces: Disturbing Conferences and Composing Events
Conferencing Otherwise: A Feminist New Materialist Writing Experiment
This article attempts to reconfigure hegemonic framings of 'the academic conference' and thereby offer a means to (re-)encounter the spatial, temporal, and affective forces that conferences generate, differently. We are a geographically dispersed but multiply entangled group of academic researchers united by theoretical fault lines within our work that seek to ask what if and what else. This 'what if' and 'what else' thinking has manifested in ex…
Suicide attempt trends leading up to and following gun lock changes in the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act
Purpose Firearms account for the majority of suicide deaths in the US military and general population. The percentage of suicides resulting from firearms is higher in the military, however, and as such, the ratio of non-lethal to lethal suicide attempts is lower in the military than in the general population. In 2013, Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act, which facilitated a Department of Defense (DoD) shift toward allowing comm…
Working precarious careers trajectories: Tracing neoliberal discourses in younger workers’ narratives
The aim of this article is to explore how, in the context of the post Global Financial Crisis (GFC), some Italian younger workers in a specific geographical region in Italy recount their work trajectories. Drawing on narrative interviews with ten participants (aged between 24 and 30) as part of a research project carried out in the Autonomous region of Aosta Valley in Italy, the article traces discourses closely associated with neoliberalism – th…
Improvising Bags Choreographies: Disturbing Normative Ways of Doing Research
Postqualitative research-creation improvisations offer new possibilities to explore method/ology. In this article, we question how bags, as seemingly mundane objects, work as ontologically lively matter-as active agencies-to choreograph human-nonhuman relations and heterogeneous materialities. Working from three questions-How might a bag become? What do bags do? What do bags enable and enact?-we discuss four research-creation improvisations and t…
Disturbing the AcademicConferenceMachine: Post‐qualitative re‐turnings
Author 1: They say they want to disturb the AcademicConferenceMachine. Author 34: What is an AcademicConferenceMachine? Author 2: Please do not go in that direction. Ask, for example, what does an AcademicConferenceMachine do? Author 51: Ok, so what does it do? Author 6: AcademicConferenceMachines are becoming so regulated and standardized that they might lose the possibility to produce different knowledge and to produce knowledge differently. Au…
LGBT voices in work-life: A Call for Research and a Research Community
Despite an apparent expansive inclusivity of the aims of work–life programmes, there remains a fairly narrowly defined heteronormative view of the family. Alternative and non-normative perspectives of family life, and especially those pertaining to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual (LGBT) identities, remain relatively occluded and under-researched. The aim of this paper is to question the presence and relevance of LGBT voices and perspective…
Post Author/Ship: Five or More Ikea Customers in Search of an Author
In this article, imposters' (or fake authors) aim is to problematize fixed concepts such as author, authoring, and authorship both in qualitative research and in organization studies-especially in relation to organizational communications that ostensibly promote and value diversity of (sexual) identity. In seeking to do so, these imposters engage with an IKEA ad and, in a process of "prospective" writing, inductively explore the absence or void o…
The Effect of Aptitude and Experience on Mechanical Job Performance
The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is the test used by the United States military for personnel selection and classification. We evaluated the validity of this selection test to predict mechanical job performance, as measured by five different criteria: a hands-on performance test, a job knowledge test, grade point average in mechanical training, job proficiency ratings, and supervisor ratings. Using a sample of 891 automotive…
