“…Continuing from the wonders (Gale & Wyatt, 2017; MacLure, 2013), we created a space to write experimentally, creatively, and reflexively to collectively inquire about our identities and positionalities as Korean transnationals. The process of collaborative writing as a mode of inquiry (e.g., Alhayek et al, 2023; Jandrić et al, 2023) was not a pre-designed qualitative research per se . Instead, through monthly thematic writings and meetings for six months, we shared what we were pondering, feeling, and encountering at the temporal and spatial points of our personal and professional lives, and based on this conversation, each of the five authors suggested writing themes and prompts for everyone to write about until the next meeting.…”

How can we take transnationality as a space of in-betweenness to generate new possibilities, moving beyond geographically bounded spans between countries? This article presents five authors’ collective inquiry on transnational positionalities, which we practiced through the relational, transformative, and reflective writing of the self in a community space. We staged the collaborative writing into two processes: the emergent process of thematic writing and the relay writing. Interweaving “I” and “we” voices that cannot be captured through categorical thinking, our collaborative quest resists normative identity politics, proposing writing as a method of collective inquiry for the nuanced understanding of the transnationality that embraces flows, margins, and uncertainties. Collaborative writing, we argue, is a transformative opportunity for methodologizing transnationality and decolonizing qualitative inquiry.

Initially, this collaborative autoethnography brought together five authors to explore the trope of sound through re/membering the self and storying family. But it very quickly became an exploration of the inter-reliability and inner relatability of sounds of home, heritage, and the heart across diverse human lived experiences of grief, mourning, recovery, and intergenerational legacies of hope. The essay explores the relational practice between self in relation to culture that always informs autoethnography as qualitative inquiry, which is intentionally exploited and magnified in this collaborative autoethnography.

Inspired by Diversi & Moreira’s Betweener Talk and Betweener Autoethnographies, I employ poetic inquiry to sketch a nonessentialist position for research in the spaces between. My poetry is archival and it is poem-ish. Using repetition, I attempt to break through binary thinking, while simultaneously illustrating the difficulty in doing so. I seek possibility and potential in the twilit space of both/and rather than either/or. In-between spaces can be precarious, a source of uncertainty and fear, yet hope can also be found there.
