Is it possible to end the opposition between research and creation? This book seeks to explore the potential of research-creation when conducted by people from minority groups or who are interested in different kinds of marginality. The texts address rape culture, mental health, chronic pain, issues of class, racialization, sexuality, and whiteness, in a variety of forms that are unique to creative inquiry (self-writing, oral history, poetry, literary essays, manifestos, etc.).
From the outset, Nicholas Dawson and Marie-Claude Garneau discuss their choices and editorial power in the introduction, which is written in the form of a play - with a prologue, four scenes and an epilogue - set in a closed kitchen during the pandemic. Friendship is posed as a cross-cutting issue, one that "cuts across everything", one that breaks down the barriers of minority and marginalization experiences.
Hopeful and poetic, a joyfully pragmatic book.
