Abstract

"An elegantly written, scholarly and accessible text. Jane Elliott shows a sophisticated appreciation of contemporary methodological developments, and makes a persuasive case for the use of narrative approaches in both qualitative and quantitative research. The book challenges and advances debates about combining methods, and shows how stories can work within and across conventional research boundaries. It is a truly original contribution to the literature." -- Amanda Coffey Cardiff School of Social Sciences This is a lucid and accessible introduction to narrative methods in social research. It is also an important book about the nature, role and theoretical basis of research methodology in general. Jane Elliott instructs the reader on the basic methods and methodological assumptions that form the basis of narrative methods. She does so in a way that is practical and accessible and in a way that will make the book a favourite with students and experienced researchers alike. Elliott argues that both qualitative and quantitative methods are characterized by a concern with narrative, and that our research data can best be analyzed if it is seen in narrative terms. In concrete, step-by-step terms she details for the reader how to go about collecting data and how to subject that data to narrative analysis, while at the same time placing this process in its wider theoretical context. She works across the traditional quantitative/qualitative divide to set out the ways in which narrative researchers can uncover such issues as social change, causality and social identity. She also shows how the techniques and skills used by qualitative researchers can be deployed when doing quantitative research and, similarly, how qualitative researchers can sometimes profit from using quantitative skills and techniques.

Abstract

From The Road to Game of Thrones, across works as seemingly different as Gone Girl and Saw, literature, film, and television have become obsessed with the intersection of survival and choice. When the trapped rock-climber hero of 127 Hours is confronted with self-amputation or death, it is only a particularly blunt example of an omnipresent set-up. In real-life settings or fantastical games, protagonists find themselves confronting extreme scenarios with life-or-death consequences, forced to make torturous either-or choices in stripped-down, brutally stark environments.Jane Elliott identifies and analyzes this new and distinctive aesthetic phenomenon, which she calls "the microeconomic mode." Through close readings of its narratives, tropes, and concepts, she traces the implicit theoretical and political claims conveyed by this combination of abstraction and extremity. In the microeconomic mode, humans isolated from any forms of social organization operate within a mini-economy of costs and benefits, gains and losses, measured in the currency of life. Elliott reads the key concepts that emerge from this aesthetic-life-interest, sovereign capture, and binary life-in relation to biopolitics and natural law theory, becoming and the control society, and primitive accumulation in racial capitalism. The microeconomic mode interrogates the destruction of the liberal political subject, but what it leaves in its place is as disturbing as it is radically new. Going beyond the question of neoliberalism in literature, The Microeconomic Mode combines revelatory close readings of key literary and popular texts with significant theoretical interventions to identify how an aesthetics of choice has reshaped our contemporary understanding of what it means to be human.

Abstract

This volume argues that theory, far from being dead, has undergone major shifts in order to come to terms with the most urgent cultural and political questions of today. Offering an overview of theory’s new directions, this groundbreaking collection includes essays on affect, biopolitics, biophilosophy, the aesthetic, and neoliberalism, as well examinations of established areas such as subaltern studies, the postcolonial, and ethics. Influential figures such as Agamben, Badiou, Arendt, Deleuze, Derrida and Meillassoux are examined in a range of contexts. Gathering together some of the top thinkers in the field, this volume not only speculates on the fate of theory but shows its current diversity, encouraging conversation between divergent strands. Each section places the essays in their contexts and stages a comparison between different but ultimately related ways in which key thinkers are moving beyond poststructuralism.

Abstract

De Amerikaanse lerares Jane Elliott wijdde de voorbije 30 jaar aan de strijd tegen vooroordelen, onwetenheid en racisme. Ze geeft anti-racisme-trainingen aan mensen die in een multiculturele omgeving wonen. Via originele trainingssessies, waarbij ze de blanken in een minderwaardige positie dwingt, confronteert ze hen met de alledaagse gevolgen van racisme voor kleurlingen. Op een onnavolgbare wijze slaagt ze erin mensen aan den lijve te laten voelen hoe het is om gediscrimineerd te worden. De video is een krachtige oproep tegen racisme en discriminatie, ook en vooral tegen het veilige bewustzijn van hen die niet gediscrimineerd worden. In de video volgen we deze erg confronterende workshops van Jane Elliott. De bijhorende brochure gaat dieper in op het fenomeen racisme, zijn verschijningsvormen, de angst voor het onbekende, het etnocentrisme, het zoeken van een zondebok,...

Abstract

Dertig volwassenen van allerlei slag verzamelen in een verlaten fabriekspand in Londen. Ze zullen deelnemen aan psychologische test, verder weten ze niets. Een dag lang zijn ze in de handen van Jane Elliott. 'We onderwerpen deze mensen vandaag aan racisme in de hoop dat ze in de toekomst twee keer nadenken voor ze het iemand anders laten ondergaan. Deze oefening is als serum tegen racisme. Vandaag kunnen we het verschil maken', aldus Jane Elliott.
