The Collaborative Body in Qualitative Research challenges normative philosophies that have frequently neglected the body-s place in research and then illustrates how the body is essential for all meaning making.
By -voicing the body-, the first part of this rebellious book problematizes how the body is used/assessed, yet often silenced in academic writing. This book then fluidly moves to celebrating the body through discussing taboo topics like sex/sexuality in friendship, underwear (knickers), ageing, and death, as well as how a non-binary body moves in a heteronormative world. Through the lens of Bodyography, this book does research differently - illuminating how the body flourishes, excites knowledge, and is complicated when placed on a -screen-. This book celebrates a collaborative and arts-based approach. This book is a dialogue between The Bodies Collective, with dialogic resonance sections between each chapter and art pieces throughout.
