Thinking and doing through a diverse set of theories, methodologies and writing registers, this edited collection explores the potential of creative disruption as psychosocial praxis. Moments of disruption - planned and unplanned - are everywhere in the fragile terrain of the social, from micro-level gestures of resistance and refusal at the local scale to globally disruptive phenomena such as climate and ecological breakdown and pandemic. The authors of this collection ask instead: how might the disruption we encounter open up junctures for creative and ethical psychosocial engagement?
This collection introduces new and emerging voices in psychosocial scholarship, from within and beyond academia and the clinic. Each brings unique perspectives, research and theoretical interests which have for the most part, been discarded, marginalised or neglected within mainstream academic knowledge production.
Collectively, they argue for a psychosocial praxis that insists on creating space for forms of knowledge historically construed by the Western academe as contentious, invalid or contaminating. Their contributions grapple with moments of disruption as sites of discomfort, discontent, and dis-ease. Working across queer theory, disability studies, psychoanalysis, postcolonial studies, black feminism, whiteness studies and theories of racialisation, the authors engage with questions of power and knowledge, allyship and responsibility, and the potential as well as limitations brought by creative and multi-disciplinary engagements with disruption.
