Description of  Collaborative Research in Theory and Practice: The Poetics of Letting Go

1529215099 pdf This book invites the reader to think about collaborative research differently. Using the concepts of letting go (the recognition that research is always in a state of becoming) and 'poetics (using an approach that might interrupt and remake the conventions of research), it envisions collaborative research as a space where relationships are forged with the use of arts-based and multimodal ways of seeing, inquiring and representing ideas. The book's chapters are interwoven with Interludes which provide alternative forms to think with and another vantage point from which to regard phenomena, pose a question and seek insights or openings for further inquiry, rather than answers. Altogether, the book celebrates collaboration in complex, exploratory, literary and artistic ways within university and community research.
