EMBODIED PERFORMANCE AS APPLIED RESEARCH ART AN...

This book follows a physically disabled researcher's journey from stigmatized embodiment on her
way to creating accessible storytelling performances. These unique performances function not
only as traditional  peer-reviewed forms of critical qualitative research  but also as
'narrative teaching productions' that guide students and their audiences in the pursuit of
social justice and equality. The book begins by developing the author's personal standpoint 
and provides an evocative discussion of the multiple perceptions and identities experienced by
those with disabled bodies. It negotiates how performance research can be created and conducted
within the confines of course learning objectives  moves through complications encountered in
research design and data collection  and explores a range of insightful responses from
community members  social activists  and performance critics  as well as more traditional
academic audiences. Critical autoethnographic personal narratives  performance scripts  and
poetry are used to illuminate struggles over legitimate methodological practice and
storytelling performance pedagogy. Each chapter confronts the fear of mortality that presses us
to stigmatize those who remind us of our inescapably vulnerable embodiments and offers hope for
an inclusive  adaptable culture. The book will be compelling reading for scholars in
Performance Studies  Disability Studies  Cultural Studies  Narrative Methodology  Ethnography 
Higher Education  Autoethnography  Creative Nonfiction and everyone interested embodiment and
or storytelling for social change.Please visit www.uncwstorytelling.org chapter-summaries-1 to
