Beskrivelse
In my research on young people on the margins of the educational system, I work with poetic inquiry (Richardson 1997, Prendergast et al 2009) as one of the qualitative methods of inquiry (Görlich 2016). Recently, I have experimented with pattern poems, which adds a visual dimension to the poetic quality of the analyses.The pattern poem enables the condensing of the young voices, while the shaping of the poem allows the researcher to highlight a certain ‘feel’ or sensing of the problem matter. In this paper, I wish to discuss the philosopher Franco Berardi (2012), who describes social behaviour as regular and inescapable patterns of interaction influenced by ‘techno-linguistic governance’ and calls for a need to start “a process of de-automating the word, and a process of reactivating sensuousness in the sphere of social communication” (ibid, 21). However, I am also aware that the distinction between academic research and art becomes blurred. Following this, my ambition is to explore these blurry lines. I want to address pattern poems as an analytical tool and explore the limits of this method of inquiry – is research supposed to ‘reactivate the senses’? What are the limits, if any, of poetic inquiry?
