“…While Barad’s ethico-onto-epistemology seeks to step away from anthropocentrism, auto/ethnography centers around the personal, lived experiences of human beings. Yet, posthumanist auto/ethnography holds potential for re-configuring notions of self as stable, singular entities, in favor of a relational self emergent from interactions between human and non-human entities (Brisini & Simmons, 2021). I consider this methodological tension as vital when considering auto/ethnography from positions of privilege.…”

“…This may further help to advance the social justice prerogatives of auto/ethnography by visibilizing where and how power resides. The creative possibilities of self-study in posthumanism may be able to confront power through a “rejection of the undue privileging and centering of humans, rather than an effort at debasing or denying them” (Brisini & Simmons, 2021, p. 355). In turn, locating this power may help to destabilize it.…”

The contemporary yoga industry is entangled in many contradictions. While yoga is intended to be an inclusive, liberatory practice, its contemporary iterations enact exclusion through an industry that often privileges able-bodied, affluent, white women. As a yoga scholar-practitioner who embodies these identities, I am troubled by how my teaching and studies of yoga further replicate power imbalances. In this article, I interrogate privilege and power as they emerge with yoga pants. I draw upon Barad’s cutting together-apart in a diffractive auto/ethnography. I make literal cuts through the fabric of my yoga pants, as reflections, reactions, and interview transcripts make figurative cuts through self-image, body-image, and feminine norms. I consider how this methodology materializes an entanglement of affective forces, power, and critical feminist academia that is useful in exploring possibilities for change. This inquiry does not conclude, but rather acknowledges an imperfect and ever-evolving interrogation of embodied power as it shapes intellectual inquiry, and spaces of yoga practice.

“…Autoethnography is not inherently phenomenological, but its in-depth descriptive account can produce real-world knowledge that originates from first-person experience (Husserl 1970) and is experienced by the person at the center of the experience (Pitard 2019). It is self-focused, subjective-centered, and context-conscious (Brisini and Simmons 2022), and shares a relevant epistemological ground with phenomenology. This connection underscores the idea that personal experience is viewed as something that happens to the individual, is consciously reacted to in the moment, and is subjectively interpreted (Pitard 2019).…”

Toward a Phenomenological Understanding of Internet-Mediated Meme-ing as a Lived Experience in Social Distancing via Autoethnography

As the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent social distancing measures have rendered online communication a “new normal” in the post-pandemic era, the production and consumption of internet memes have also emerged as a significant communicative paradigm in this context. However, academic discourses on internet-mediated meme-ing have tended to focus on socially oriented macro-perspectives with a pursuit of positivistic objectivity, leaving the experiential and subjective aspects of “everyday internet-mediated meme-ing” vis-à-vis individuals in a lifeworld less explored. To address this gap, this study uses structured vignette analysis (SVA) coupled with individual-oriented phenomenological reflexivity to elaborate on how internet-mediated meme-ing reveals itself as a meaningful lived experience for a “solitary conscious self” in the overall context of social distancing. It seeks to demonstrate the phenomenological applicability of the SVA as an autoethnographic method as well as highlight the individual-oriented phenomenological substantiality of meme-ing that involves self-other relations in social distancing.

Cet article se penche sur le pourquoi et le comment de la recherche et de l’enseignement du « management alternatif » au sein des écoles de commerce, à une époque marquée par le prétendu « capitalisme académique » (Ramboarisata et al., 2022). Dans un premier temps, s’appuyant sur la littérature consacrée au management responsable, il expose les principales caractéristiques de cette alternative de gestion qui vise à apporter des réponses durables et équitables aux défis contemporains majeurs en matière de pratiques managériales. La seconde partie interroge les implications concrètes de cette « autre » approche du management, en abordant une pratique managériale spécifique liée à la performance opérationnelle, le Lean management. Enfin, l’article conclut par une discussion sur l’urgence de ces transformations, adoptant une perspective critique et pragmatique, au-delà des déclarations d’intentions.
