Becoming through Story: The Relational Processes of Writing and Creating the StOries Project (Natasha Damiano).This open access book brings together storytelling and self-narrative, creative writing and narrative enquiry to explore a variety of topics in migration from an experiential lens. The volume is hybrid and multi-genre as it contains both scholarly chapters grounded in academic perspectives, as well as personal essays and creative non-fiction. In addition to critical reflections on key migration topics and concepts – like, identity and diversity, integration and agency, transnationalism and return – the scholarly chapters also propose a particular methodology for ‘workshopping’ migration narratives, and writing about (personal) lived experiences through iterations of scientific reflection, narrative enquiry, and creative imagination. The book explores the potential of a new conceptual paradigm and methodological process to learn more, and also `differently,’ about the migration experience. Finally, this volume asks a bigger question too – how do we define the boundaries of research; isit possible to entirely separate the spatial, temporal and methodological parameters in which projects are developed and pursued; and how can the specifics of these multiple contexts contribute to shaping the knowledge being produced?IMISCOE Research Series,2364-4095Emigration and immigrationEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyEmigration and immigrationSocial aspectsHuman MigrationMigration PolicySociology of MigrationEmigration and immigration.Emigration and immigrationGovernment policy.Emigration and immigrationSocial aspects.Human Migration.Migration Policy.Sociology of Migration.304.8POL028000SOC007000bisacshKumar Alka1433646Kumar Alka1433646Triandafyllidou Anna892101MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910746982303321Migration and Identity Through Creative Writing3583108UNINA
