In an ethnographic study spanning the last years of research
collaborator and friend Susan Lundy Maute’s life with terminal
breast cancer, author Jessica Restaino argues the interpretative
challenges posed by research and writing amid illness and intimacy
demand a methodological break from accepted genres and established
practices of knowledge making. Restaino searches their
experiences—recorded in interviews, informal writings, and
correspondence—to discover a rhetoric of love and illness. She
encourages a synthesis of methods and the acceptance of a reversal
of roles—researcher and researched, writer and
written-about—and emphasizes the relevancy of methodological
diversity, the necessity of the personal, and the analytical
richness of unpredictability and risk in being who we are in our
scholarship at any given moment. Bringing together critical
analysis, qualitative-style research methods, close reading,
Surrender: Feminist Rhetoric and Ethics in Love and Illness resists
traditional ideas about academic writing and invites others to
pursue collaborations that subvert accepted approaches to
representation, textual production, and subjectivity. Restaino
demonstrates a way of writing—the rendering of the academic text
itself—that suggests how we do our work has resonance for what we
produce. She offers framing questions for use by others interested
in doing similar kinds of scholarship that may frighten, overwhelm,
or confound. This book deepens our understanding of subjectivity
and the gains made by feminist resistance to conventional concepts
of objectivity in research collaborations.
