EducationalInsights.ca presents Performing
Repair, a special issue edited
by Marla
Buchanan, Marv Westwood, and Richard
Harrison.
This special issue of Educational Insights
examines performing Repair as a recovery of the self, inspired by the
power of the human ability to heal or repair oneself, as witnessed many
times in work with survivors of trauma. Here, we explore the
individual's engagement with arts practices such as digital media
making, therapy enactment, ritual, dance, improvisation as a means of
inquiry, storying and reflection. Our authors' performative explorations
of identity, trauma, and pain interact with diverse notions of body,
sensation, emotion, movement and cognition to form a more fully
articulated gestalt.
Educationalinsights.ca is an on-line, open access, peer reviewed
educational research journal engaging in new dialogues of enRapturing
con/texts and re-imagined spaces of pedagogy, inquiry, and
interdisciplinarity.
