This book is an analysis and practice of writing otherwise in
academia. It takes off from Barthes' claim that 'Science will
become literature' (1989, p. 10) into a labyrinth of writing in
different contexts and genres. In local and specific writing
contexts, the author contrasts (social) scientific analytical
writing with poetic, dramatic and autoethnographic writing to begin
to generate theories about how different types of writing might
work differently to construct different knowledges. Data from
collective biography projects is re-presented as poetry and as a
theatre script. Sections of 'creative' or 'literary' writing are
interspersed with theoretical and methodological analysis. The
research methodologies of collective biography and autoethnography
are interrogated in the light of poststructural theories on
language. This is a risky journey into transgressive writing
research where linear narratives of research are disrupted via a
series of detours into writing towards a conclusion that stresses
the (im)possibilities of conclusions.
