“…On the basis of extant research, the film extends an invitation to viewers to re‐imagine how we speak, write, and think about ourselves and others. We can thus recommend embarking on such an aesthetic journey, without “getting people on board” (a masculine metaphor), but with an attitude that “trusts the process” (McNiff, 1998), open to others and their experience cognitively and affectively, for “developing differently” leadership and organizations.…”

Writing differently with film: An animated video on gender, leadership, and language

The animated video “Leadership and Discourse” (original title: “Führung und Sprache”) (4:05 min) is produced by us (a filmmaker and a scholar) and stands as an artistic research contribution that is published on the GWO website (https://bcove.video/3yBUL04). It links to and develops forms of “writing differently” in organization studies with moving images, colors, and sound. Drawing on feminist research, it visualizes how language creates a view on leadership as white, heterosexual, and masculine that excludes women and non‐binary individuals, queer people, and people of color. The male leader stereotype “stands” his ground and dominates all others. The video also shows how marginalized positions may find their form when they act in solidarity, reject misogynist vocabulary and hate‐speech, redefine words, and create new terms. In a way that a text cannot, the film allows viewers to experience gender and leadership as a product and artifact of discursive practices. It invites viewers to affectively relate to the content and encourages them to re‐imagine ourselves and others in organizations and leadership relationships beyond binary gender stereotypes. This written article serves as an academic framing, a common standard for artistic research, offering an interpretation of the video and situating the theoretical contribution. We theorize how artistic research as “writing differently” can challenge dominant forms of knowledge production and may support learning and leadership development with alternative, reflective, and experiential approaches and materials.

“…The study employed the qualitative research approach using the art-based research inquiry due to the artistic and studio demands of the production processes. Art-based research according to [8] can be defined as the systematic use of the artistic process, the actual making of artistic expressions in all the different forms of the arts as a primary way of understanding and examining experience by both researchers and the people involved in the study. The researchers agreed with [8] statement because the research involves creating artistic expressions from masquerade costume design, and representing it in artistic creation.…”

“…Based on the methodology adopted (artistic research paradigm), which highlights the creation of an artefact with an interpretation, the purpose of this study also demands the researchers produce an artefact [8] [9] [10]. The costume elements in the masquerade costumes were identified through critical observation and analysis.…”

Masquerade culture is an essential part of Sekondi-Takoradi cultural embodiment. The masquerade festival titled Ankos displays interesting costumes that have artistic elements of potent colour display and performances. The masquerade costumes manifest intricate fabric decoration techniques for example pleating, folding, gathering, smocking, hand and machine stitching and the use of varied colour schemes. These decorative techniques make costume production laborious, tedious and downtime constraints. In contributing to the innovative approaches to creating textile designs and prints, the study explored the inspirational possibilities of surface designs of the masquerade costume for textile designs and prints. The art-based research design and direct observation as research instrumentation were employed in the artistic creation for the study. Adobe Photoshop was used in the simulation design processes. The study revealed that the simulation design processes produced an innovative imitated visual appearance of the masquerade costume and production processes from a machine-stitched work to a hand-printed fabric. It is recommended that costume makers adopt the contemporary possibility of using hand screen to print hitherto the traditional laborious and tedious process of producing masquerade costumes.

“…Drawing is particularly useful in working with vulnerable people as it allows the expression of experiences that differ from word‐based modes (Cheung et al, 2019; Guillemin & Drew, 2010; Theron et al, 2011). McNiff (1998) argues that reflecting on the drawing has a stabilising influence on the patient (McNiff, 1989), meaning that the drawing and post‐drawing interview has therapeutic value.…”

Background: Hope is an integral part of a dying person's needs and an important phenomenon that has not been satisfactorily explored. The tension between hope for a cure and the reality of being terminally ill is a paradox, which in the context of palliative cancer care, nurses and health care professionals must take into consideration. Objective:The purpose of this study was to elucidate the phenomenon of hope and to investigate the lived experiences of hope among newly diagnosed patients with advanced cancer. Method:The study used a phenomenological-visual method where drawings and post-drawing interviews were used. The participants were six patients who recently had been offered specialised palliative care treatment. They were five women and one man with different cancer diagnoses and between 30 and 82 years of age (median 65 years). The data consisted of six drawings and individual post-drawing interviews with the participants. The study was reported using the COREQ checklist. Results:The study revealed one main concern 'Being in hope' and hope appeared in four different dimensions; internal, external, relational and transcendental.Hopelessness was present at all times. Conclusion:Hope pictured in drawings was expressed through colour, shape, lines, symbols and metaphors, and hope incorporated internal, external, relational and transcendental aspects. Hope was constantly fighting against hopelessness and hope integrated with past, present and future.Relevance to clinical practice: Drawings, as well as other visual representations, are suitable tools when trying to understand an ineffable phenomenon such as hope experienced by people newly diagnosed with cancer.
