Editing Multiple Sites of Enunciation

Media or Art that plays with knowledge and perspective (EEE?)

Taking our cues from Jones and Jenkins (2008), we conduct a ‘negotiation of voice’- we make explicit who speaks, and how our collaborative authorship is navigated. To clarify which of our respective voices are present, each narrative output states first who ‘we’ refers to in it. Such visible differentiation and shifting of voices, both eliminates the impression that this paper addresses phenomena that are completely disconnected from the position of the BW scientists, while it also seeks to avoid speaking from one harmonized voice. Based on the tension of our differences, rather than attempting to erase them, we have sought to create multiple sites of enunciation, while maintaining a pragmatic collaboration across them.

This aligns with the principles of ethical engagement, as it respects the integrity of each voice, and experience without causing cultural confusion. Such cultural confusion is a state in which ‘we no longer know what informs each of our identities and what should guide the association with each other’ (Ermine, 2007 p. 197 ; see also Blackfoot elder Reg Crowshoe in AER, 2014). Becoming explicit in ones sites of enunciation enables one to ‘appropriately, correctly, and respectfully acknowledge the "that's me" and the "that's you" of their differentiated worldviews', as a crucial requirement for different communities to ethically engage with each other (Institute for Integrative Science & Health, 2013b).
