Reconceptualization as a Tool of Critical Practice

According to them, ethico-onto-epistemological frameworks (e.g., Mainardes, 2022; Stetsenko, 2020) have articulated the integration of being-doing-knowing, the centrality of socio-political ethos to projects of knowing, and the importance of foregrounding social consequences and visions in the design, implementation, and uptake of inquiry (this issue, p. 14). The challenge for situated analysis then is to identify analytic and conceptual lenses that bring into focus affective, indexical, intra-actional, and historical intensities; illuminate co-genetic affordances emerging from the bio-cultural-historical weight of environments and practices; and track dialogic resonances across chains of moments" (this issue, p. 15). Focusing on the social history of the large scale Zahab earthquake in 2017, the authors discuss the relationship between narratives and identities based on data collected from a critical ethnography including more than ninety interviews with the survivors in the Kurdish villages in the region.
