Abstract

Send this e-mail to Rica and Travis: Rica and Travis, I wish you could have been at the duoethnography panel. The first presentation had some uneasy conversations. The second, Dr. Colomer's presentation, was cool: A performance with guest actors had some sad moments with death, health issues, and attrition. The next presentation was about miscarriage and grief counseling. I wondered if our paper is frivolous in comparison to the others. I think not. Our episodes of cultural starvation and indifference are there and painful, but our comebacks are so quick (nourishment as resistance), and therefore so is the celebration. Written by Agosto while flying home after presenting at the 2014 International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry.

Selecting the Best Music for the Moment in a Music and Imagery Session

“…1. Currere (Pinar, 1994), the first tenet, refers to the telling of our story looking back (regressive), looking forward (progressive), analysing (interpreting) and synthesising (integration; Agosto et al, 2015). Currere is "an act of selfinterrogation" (Norris & Sawyer, 2016, p. 13) with the aim to be transformed, and, in duoethnography, this takes place in the presence of another person.…”

“…As far as the theme of trust is concerned, this can be found in the tenets of the trioethnography method. The first tenet of the method, namely Curerre, the telling of our stories by looking at them analytically and integratively (Agosto et al, 2015), was evident in our intervision process.…”

“…In his work on Manchester, Bridger () emphasizes the importance of using “everyday forms of documentation gathering in order to study everyday life, that is, cameras, diaries, and stories” (p. 82). This is also akin to Pinar's exploratory “Method of Currere, a method of self‐reflective autobiographical inquiry” that pays attention to “the critical social context” (Agosto, Marn, and Ramirez :109). Currere can be infused with dialogue to create “place walking,” which “makes it possible to meet people along the way who gain access to the ongoing dialogues” (Agosto, Marn, and Ramirez :118).…”

Dynamic Ecologies of Person and Place

“…4 Discussion Agosto, Marn, and Ramirez's (2015) study suggests that agency is not located entirely within individual action, but is generated within an intertwined material/collective relationship. Conducting a trioethnography as they "placed walked" around their college campus, they encountered a landscape actively imbued with symbolic power (Bourdieu, 1983).…”
