Winner of the 2016 ICQI Outstanding Qualitative Book Award, acclaimed qualitative scholar Jane Speedys world was utterly transformed after suffering a severe stroke at the age of just 50. Following her recovery from the hospital, Speedy turned to her iPad as a means of making sense of her profound experience and aiding in her rehabilitation. The captivating, fragmented, and poetic text and images found within Staring at the Park vividly depict the intricacies of this challenging journey. This highly original book offers an alternative approach to engaging with the self in a research project, employing evocative and artistic means. Here's a detailed breakdown of its key features:
- The seemingly ordinary motif of the park opposite the author's house serves as the catalyst for a wildly creative autoethnography.
- The book includes three narratives of the author's experience of staring at the park: an imagined murder mystery unfolding in the park, a realist ethnography of the park, and the life story (both imagined and real) of the author facing her illness and recovery.
- Through a poetic and performative inquiry, the book offers readers a profound exploration of the author's new reality, challenging conventional notions of research and storytelling.
Staring at the Park is a testament to the resilience and creativity of the human spirit, showcasing the power of art to heal, transform, and ignite new understandings of the world. It is a must-read for scholars, researchers, and anyone seeking a fresh and innovative perspective on qualitative inquiry.
