“…These readings produce differences, in the form of agential cuts. Arlander (2017) used the example of video recording to help researchers make sense of the idea of an agential cut. Taking a photograph can be considered an intra-action between a camera and the natural environment.…”

“…At the same time, this intra-action is material-discursively producing differences in the form of an image. This image is an agential cut “by defining what is included and what is excluded” (Arlander, 2017, p. 144). Diffractive analysis can produce a particular agential cut through the intra-action between data, theories, and the researchers.…”

Thinking Diffractively with Data in Human Resource Development

Human Resource Development Review

Despite growing numbers of qualitative research studies published in human resource development (HRD), there is a limited scope of qualitative methodologies applied. When it comes to qualitative data analysis, coding-based analysis is the go-to analytical method in HRD. This article introduces diffractive analysis, a concept for data analysis that encourages new ways to consider the entanglement between data, theories, researchers, and the researched. This paper introduces the philosophical foundation of diffractive analysis that challenges reflection as the prominent metaphor for inquiry in HRD research and practice. Examples from empirical studies are presented to illustrate how data and theory can be read diffractively into each other to produce different knowledge in HRD. The differences diffractive analysis can potentially make in HRD include engaging with research philosophically, analyzing data diffractively, developing a performative understanding of the field, and strengthening researcher-practitioner partnership.

“…Similarly, how the narrator was represented in terms of the angle of Ivan's face to allow the shadow of his mouth opening introduced a new perspective on the narrator and their relationship to an audience. More broadly, the notion of an agential cut could include the framing of images and editing that takes account of the combined environmental circumstances (Arlander 2018), or, as Holford (2018 suggests 'As soon as we utter an articulation, we interpret (or produce a "cut"). Furthermore, dialogue can be viewed as ever-changing cuts or interpretations.…”

Digitally retelling the tale: children’s learning encounters and materiality

While much existing work on digital storytelling with young people has focused prominently upon presenting their own personal narratives and viewpoints, relatively little attention has been given to learning that could arise from digital adaptations by young children of existing and well-known stories. This article reports work exploring learning activities through a case study involving three pupils (aged 8, 10 and 12) and their teachers engaged over a six-month period in digitally retelling a fairy tale from a printed storybook. In addition to considering the role of the printed text and the learning opportunities arising from its digital retelling, discussion focuses on how the findings cohere with more recently developing theoretical perspectives on learning that in addition to the social take into account the role of the material.

“…Given this context, the proposed method explored in this article is embedded in a wider context of research surrounding events, evaluation and theatre practices. This method will also contribute to the sometimes-contested discourse that surrounds this type of work (Smith and Dean, 2009; Biggs et al , 2010; Nelson, 2013; Arlander et al , 2017). For the purposes of this article I will encapsulate this method through the term “practice research”.…”

PurposeThis article's purpose is to examine the case for the use of the theatre arts in the evaluation of UK City of Culture (UKCC) programmes, specifically headphone verbatim.Design/methodology/approachThrough an analysis of secondary evidence, supported by some primary research, this article analyses past and present evaluation practices surrounding UKCC programmes and the case for headphone verbatim to be included as a method of gathering and distributing research data. The article also observes the challenges in how data may be disseminated through verbatim theatre performance practices, given the limited examples of its use in this context.FindingsThe author argues that the theatre arts can provide a different way of knowing and understanding the impacts of UKCC projects on the host city. Specifically, that headphone verbatim can bring an experiential perspective that is rarely if ever captured by existing UKCC evaluation methods and policymaking in general.Originality/valueThis article details an innovative method of evaluating social impacts associated with UKCC projects.
