The Arctic Terns
The Arctic Terns are six creative artists|writers|photographers|poets, who perform the paper you will encounter here. We Arctic Terns engage in collaborative writing and artmaking, connecting with each other, along with some of the other-than-human earth and animal others, through whom our own being-human is extended. We Terns become and write together as an archipelago of ‘singularities’; we have been meeting on Zoom for years, listening to and …
Are we listening? Insights from Australian social workers navigating discourse and practice tensions in refugee mental health
This article explores social work practitioners’ experiences when working with Syrian and other refugees during resettlement using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) within a practitioner-researcher, action-oriented methodology and a deconstructive theoretical framework. This study gathered firsthand practice narratives and insights from seven social workers engaged in high-complexity-needs case management and therapeutic approache…
My Pillow Is Filled with Tears… Syrian Refugees’ Journey to Australia
This article showcases Syrian refugees' narratives of trauma and survival, through a phenomenological approach to in-depth research, with refugees who have resettled in Australia. It explores their journey towards resettlement, highlighting the nexus between displacement in the home-transit-host countries and the biopsychosocial determinants of mental health. Since the 2011 uprising, over 12 million Syrians have been displaced, both internally an…
Ghost Writings
Three interlocutors; three deaths; more than three stories that multiply, entangle and unwind. Illness, suicide, voluntary euthanasia, and the slippages in between. Turning to other-than-human beings. Becoming a mistress of ceremonies. Embracing a methodology of sighs. Throwing us into that place where we matter to each other—where everything matters even as it falls away
Arctic Terns
We call ourselves the Arctic terns after the birds that migrate between the northern and southern hemispheres. Three of us live in south-west Britain and three in south-east Australia. We tried to make sense of our lockdown lives and the ways we were imbricated in world events. We wrote and made art in response. We read our work to each other and showed each other our artworks. The material practices we developed helped make the pandemic endurabl…
Deleuze and Collaborative Writing in the Dance of Activism
Drawing upon and infused by the ‘micropolitical’ moves of Deleuze and Guattari, this article arose out of a participative workshop at the 2018 International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry that took up Braidotti's proposition to explore how collaborative writing ‘like breathing, [is] not held into the mould of linearity, or the confines of the printed page, but move[s] outwards, out of bounds, in webs of encounters with ideas, others, texts’ (Bra…
Entanglements between Art-making and Storytelling in a Collective Biography on the Death of an Intimate Other
In this essay, the four authors explore the material and affective agency of art-making in a collective biography workshop. We work with our memories of the death of someone close to us, through stories, and through making art. Collectively we explore a specific, embodied moment of the particular deaths we have each experienced. The substantive focus of our work is methodological. We concern ourselves with what is made possible through including …
Palliative care for the planet
This article weaves together our responses, as three visitors and one Indigenous owner of this land, to the impending end of life, at least human life, on this planet. What we make of this almost impossible theme and what it makes of us are enacted through art, poetry, reverie, analysis and storytelling. We write in ways that are personal, lateral and yet collective, experimenting with how the tensions and connections between different art forms,…
Bullying as Intra-active Process in Neoliberal Universities
The reformed neoliberal universities, with their micromanagement of ever-increasing productivity, competitiveness, and individualization, have recently been described as unhealthy institutions, creating conditions that incite incivility, workplace bullying, and other forms of employee abuse. In this article, the authors employ collective biography as a form of "diffractive methodology" in order to provide new, theoretically driven insights into w…
Bullies, bullying and power in the contexts of schooling
In this paper the four authors explore the experience of school bullying, drawing on stories of bullying generated in a collective biography workshop and on fictional accounts of bullying. They counter the current trend of reading bullying as individual or family pathology with a post‐structuralist analysis of subjectification and power
Technologies of audit at work on the writing subject
This article examines the everyday practices of writing in the context of the technologies of audit, as they have been practised on and by the four authors in their capacity as students and researchers. It examines the activity of writing as governmentality, through which students and academics make themselves into appropriate subjects, and also exceed and disrupt the effects of government
Precarious Listening
This article attempts to hold thought open in a textual space that often forecloses thought. The authors present arguments but work them through poetry, memoir, pictures, and exposition. They frame this work in particular as an improvisation around-and intervention into-more familiar practices of collective biography, narrative, and art therapies and situate it as a new pedagogy for collective academic practice. The article emerged from a project…
