Magnitude 5.1
Three scholars share their pandemic experiences, weaving narrative and poetry in an anti-anti-narrative of illness, death, stress, and fear. This is a tale of relentless living at a distance—of the drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, minute by minute, year after year, endless cascade of unresolved anxiety and the shared cortisol spike so many of us have endured slogging through the interminable pandemic in a death-indifferent culture
Narrative Inheritance
You stand in line, waiting to go through the metal detector, feeling the warmth of the late Southern spring day, sun shining on the green grass in the distance and, above, deep blue sky. Colleagues stand nearby; you are visiting the Equal Justice Initiative’s Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, known vernacularly as the “Lynching Memorial,” and the affiliated Legacy Museum, as part of a field site visit for the Ethnography Divi…
Behavior Change Following Pain Neuroscience Education in Middle Schools: A Public Health Trial
Chronic pain and the opioid epidemic need early, upstream interventions to aim at meaningful downstream behavioral changes. A recent pain neuroscience education (PNE) program was developed and tested for middle-school students to increase pain knowledge and promote healthier beliefs regarding pain. In this study, 668 seventh-grade middle-school students either received a PNE lecture ( n = 220); usual curriculum school pain education (UC) ( n = 19…

Constructing the dead: Retrospective sensemaking in eulogies
Eulogies serve a sensemaking function of identity construction--both for the deceased and for the survivors. This work examines the communicative construction of identity in eulogies and shows how eulogia discourse affirms and reconstructs our relational identity through communication. The article extends scholarship on eulogies by using relational communication theories to investigate how eulogic discourse functions as identity construction, con…
Baby, Let Me Follow You Down: The Love-Death Dialectic in Story and Song
In this article, we examine the love-death dialectic through a mosaic of story and song. Layering personal narrative and musical chronicles about love, life, and death-from the heroic to the tedious, the passionate to the mundane, the tragic to the contented, the transgressive to the faithful, and fantasy to reality-we consider the marriage of love and loss in narratives where multiple instantiations of the truth mix and mingle. We use these disp…
Oral History of McCreesh Place, Apartment Building for (Formerly) Homeless Men: Advancing the Warp and Balancing the Weave
Colors of gold, blue, green, and brown- Bold colors, timid colors, quiet colors, exotic colors- colors of the brave, and the weak. Like society's discarded yarn, warp threads, tangled threads, they spin and choke, beaten and wound, balanced and counterbalanced and framed by handouts and handsup, until each voice clearly distinct and yet clearly different E- merges to create a new voice. A new voice. A new story. Our story. The story of McCreesh P…
A Family Jigsaw Story: Secrets and Gaps
This autoethnographic narrative shows the complexity of family secrets and disclosure, and suggests that family stories — told and untold — are formed systemically, within a system — within a web of disclosures and reactions, trust and hurt, anger and understanding. This story illustrates the cyclical and holistic nature of family relationships; and discusses how family relationships develop through waves of understanding, reflection, pain, and f…

From this analysis, research poems in the form…
Sylvia's Story: Narrative, Storytelling, and Power in a Children's Community Mental Health System of Care
This article, a story about a family with children with disabilities and the people who are helping them, shows the power of speaking in narratives, and the liberation of understanding in narratives. It looks at the issues of narrative truth, meaning, embodiment, believability, and empathy in the context of power, marginalization, and control. It illustrates that thinking through a narrative approach demarginalizes the Other and lets us form more…
Home
This story of the author's struggle with her mother's death is a testimony of suffering, meaning, transcendence, and spirituality. The author's mother was in the Hospice Home for seven days. She died on the author's birthday. During this time, they struggled with callous doctors, incompetent nurses, tedious waiting, painful emotions, and wrenching farewells. The author struggled with revising the meaning of normalcy, with promises to take care of…
Sisters and Friends: Dialogue and Multivocality in a Relational Model of Sibling Disability
This article takes the reader into a journey of family dynamics, as sisters- one with a physical impairment and the other the sibling of a woman with a physical impairment-try to sort out their feelings and experiences through in-depth interviewing, interactive interviewing, co-constructed narrative, and dialogic conversation. There is little research that looks at the relationship between the sibling with a disability and his or her nondisabled …
