Migration and Identity through Creative Writing

StOries: Strangers to Ourselves
BuchKartoniert, Paperback
CHF57.50

Beschreibung

This open access book brings together storytelling and self-narrative, creative writing and narrative enquiry to explore a variety of topics in migration from an experiential lens. The volume is hybrid and multi-genre as it contains both scholarly chapters grounded in academic perspectives, as well as personal essays and creative non-fiction. In addition to critical reflections on key migration topics and concepts ¿ like, identity and diversity, integration and agency, transnationalism and return ¿ the scholarly chapters also propose a particular methodology for ¿workshopping¿ migration narratives, and writing about (personal) lived experiences through iterations of scientific reflection, narrative enquiry, and creative imagination. The book explores the potential of a new conceptual paradigm and methodological process to learn more, and also `differently,¿ about the migration experience. Finally, this volume asks a bigger question too ¿ how do we define the boundaries of research;is it possible to entirely separate the spatial, temporal and methodological parameters in which projects are developed and pursued; and how can the specifics of these multiple contexts contribute to shaping the knowledge being produced?
