Performativity, border-crossings and ethics in a prison-based creative writing class
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 13:10 authored by Tamsin Hinton-SmithTamsin Hinton-Smith, Lizzie SealLizzie SealWe critically reflect on insights from our experiences as female researchers on a creative writing project in a men’s prison, including the emotional impact on the men involved and the ways in which our role as participant researchers impacted deeply on us. Juxtaposed starkly with the physical constraints of the prison, a sense of journeys emerged as significant throughout the study, particularly the symbolic crossing of boundaries. We draw on theories of performativity from both Feminist and Symbolic Interactionist perspectives to frame our understanding of the experience of being participant researchers in prison creative writing workshops, and also consider associated ethical issues.
