An Extract from the Novel The Thesis: 'The Dysfunctional (Family) as Signifier',
extract
novel
The author in the story is working on the difficult fourth chapter of her thesis. She is interrupted over a period of time by three of her interviewees wishing to change or claim back their information. These interruptions cause the author to grapple with the realisation that it was not what she and her interviewees had said that was important to the text but what they had not said. This realisation launches her into erasing much of her thesis.

I Am the Amazon who Dances on the Backs of Turtles: Becoming the Subject of the Story in a Community Writing and Publishing Project,
single work
criticism
"This paper is concerned with the practicalities of writing stories of 'me' in the frame of an interest in taking up alternatives to the positions offered by dominant social narratives of identity. It draws on the work of a women's community writing and publishing group in the ACT (Homefront, 1988-1992) and in particular looks at the writing practice I developed with the group over three series of workshops and two publications. The focus of this approach is working with and against various forms of writing. It is situated in a wider theoretical interest in 'changing the storylines' which I am currently exploring through my PhD thesis topic, 'Re-writing Self and Community'." --Author's abstract
