虽然艺术作品,包括小说,被公认为社会学分析的合法对象,社会研究主题制作的叙事被广泛认为是有意义的,但在法律和社会科学中,使用创造性写作作为方法论仍然是相当新颖的。在这篇文章中,我试图证明创作小说的实践和过程如何扩展社会研究的美学,情感和本体论的可能性。此外,我认为,它提供了一个模式,在道德和创造性的工作与他人的后结构主义的理论框架。我将通过反思2015年至2017年间创作的一系列社会学犯罪小说来实现这一点。我讨论了这种方法是如何发展的,以回应人们对与经历过刑事定罪和污名化的人一起工作的道德问题,借鉴卡罗琳·斯蒂德曼的“强制叙述”概念。然后,我调查了社会学小说的一些当代趋势,以及早期女性主义写作研究的实验方法,这些方法启发了我的方法。使用我自己的作品之一的社会学犯罪小说作为一个例子,我演示了这些作品是如何组成的,借鉴的概念化的研究作为一个过程中的“翻译”的演员网络理论。我希望与有司法系统经验的人仔细合作,制作实验小说的做法,可以帮助我们重新想象和重新呈现犯罪和惩罚的复杂过程,以一种可以超越社会科学观众的形式,丰富法律实践。
Whilst works of art, including fiction, are well established as legitimate objects of sociological analysis, and the narratives crafted by the subjects of social research are widely understood to be meaningful, the use of creative writing as a methodology is still quite novel within law and the social sciences. In this article, I seek to demonstrate how the practice and process of creating fiction can extend the aesthetic, affective, and ontological possibilities of social research. Further, I argue that it offers a model for working ethically and creatively with others within a poststructuralist theoretical framework. I will do this by reflecting on the creation of a series of sociological crime fictions, written between 2015 and 2017. I discuss how this approach developed in response to concerns about working ethically with people who had experienced criminalization and stigma, drawing on Carolyn Steedman’s concept of ‘enforced narratives’. I then survey some contemporary trends in sociological fiction, and earlier feminist experimental approaches to writing research, which have inspired my approach. Using one of my own works of sociological crime fiction as an example, I demonstrate how these works are composed, drawing on a conceptualization of research as a process of ‘translation’ as developed within actor–network theory. I hope that the practice of working carefully with people with experience of the justice system to make experimental fiction, might help us reimagine and re-present complex processes of crime and punishment, in a form that can travel beyond social science audiences and enrich the practice of law.
