In this book dialogue is used as a research, knowledge-sharing and community-building tool in which participants engage with each other in reflecting upon the perspectives of self and others: challenging, complementing and contradicting each other as critical peers. The book aims to be an enactment of sociological reimagination, as a way to reimagine public conversations that inspire criticality, innovation and multimodality around the intersection of identity (self), language (mediating mechanism) and power (sociocultural domain). Each chapter illustrates the use of dialogue as a participatory research tool as a way in which the sharing of knowledge and the growth of understanding occurs through meaning- and strategy-making processes. Together they present dialogue as an integrative model of self-inquiry and social activism and provide a valuable standpoint to understand the participatory nature of our very effort to question and investigate our sense of self in the world.
This book reimagines dialogue as a tool to drive inquiries, encourage reflection and develop meaningful collaborations. It aims to foster public conversations surrounding identity, language and power that inspire criticality, innovation and multimodal engagement.
Recenzijas
A provocative read! This innovative and risk-taking volume reimagines dialogue by putting it front and center as research method, demonstrating the potential of methods such as critical and collaborative authoethnography, dialogic testimonio, and digitally mediated public scholarship to uncover new insights in identity, language and power. * Wayne E. Wright, Purdue University, USA * With distinct contributions from around the world, this volume is a refreshing reminder and call for attending to dialogue as transformative research. The editors have brought together a select group of authors who are pushing the boundaries of language research with critical and innovative methods approaching dialogue to better understand the nexus of language, identity, and power. * Bedrettin Yazan, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA * This book embodies the dialogical approach to research, learning and knowledge co-making. The many simultaneously personal and political narratives and conversations break through the straitjacket of conventional academic writing and illustrate how methodological innovation and epistemological pluralism can be beautifully achieved. * Angel M. Y. Lin, The Education University of Hong Kong *
