Journal Article
Constructing imaginary narratives
2012
Overview
The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature of multi-disciplinary, practice-led research in creative writing as a form of knowledge making in qualitative research. The author uses her own writing, especially the novel Swimming (Vanark Press, 2009), which is situated in the broader context of feminist fiction writing, as a subversive feminist project that aims to intervene in and challenge the dominant narratives of what it means to be a woman, by creating \"alternative figurations\" of \"woman\" which highlight differences among women and enhance our understanding of \"woman\" as a complex and multiple subject always \"in process\". By using her own practice of fiction writing and research as a case study, the author explores the ways that constructing an imagined narrative -- in this case a novel - can make a contribution to knowledge and raise questions about representation, truth and subjectivity.
