It takes off from Barthes' claim that 'Science will become literature' (1989, p. 10) into a labyrinth of writing in different contexts and genres. In local and specific writing contexts, the author contrasts (social) scientific analytical writing with poetic, dramatic and autoethnographic writing to begin to generate theories about how different types of writing might work differently to construct different knowledges. Data from collective biography projects is re-presented as poetry and as a theatre script. Sections of 'creative' or 'literary' writing are interspersed with theoretical and methodological analysis. The research methodologies of collective biography and autoethnography are interrogated in the light of poststructural theories on language. This is a risky journey into transgressive writing research where linear narratives of research are disrupted via a series of detours into writing towards a conclusion that stresses the (im)possibilities of conclusions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susanne Gannon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 383649020X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836490207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.78d","brand":"Susanne Gannon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800802636031,"sku":"9783836490207","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flesh-and-the-text-susanne-gannon-9783836490207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
