Petra Mitchell entstand aus der Verbindung einer deutschen Mutter und eines amerikanischen Soldaten im besetzten Nachkriegsdeutschland, 1947 in ein kleines Dorf in Franken geboren. Schon als Kind muss sie mit Diskriminierung, Ablehnung und Demütigung konfrontiert werden, denn sie ist ein 'Bastard', ein 'Besatzungskind', ein 'Vermächtnis des Feindes', ein Kind ohne legitimen Vater. Petra wächst auf mit der Hoffnung ihren Vater zu finden, Briefe und Fotos im Schlafzimmer ihrer Mutter bestätigen seine Existenz, sie lernt englisch, sie Sucht Wege nach Amerika zu gelangen, sie verliebt sich in einen stationierten amerikanischen Soldaten. Die Mutter muss verhindern dass ihr das gleiche Schicksal wiederfährt. Ein Handeln mit Folgen. Petra Mitchell ist eines von den ca. 60 - 100.000 Kindern, die nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg geboren würden, deren Väter zum größten Teil unbekannt blieben. In ihrer bewegenden autobiographischen Geschichte beschreibt sie die Suche nach ihrem Vater, die Schwierigkeiten eine Identität zu finden und das eigene Leben in den Wirren der Gefühle Ehrenvoll zu Gestalten.

Paperback. Condition: New. Troubling Method seeks to extract narrative inquiry from method. The shift to a post-humanist, post-qualitative moment is not just another stage in modernism that seeks to "improve" knowledge production, but is a shift to understanding research as an ontology, a way of being in the world, rather than a mode of production. Fundamental assumptions of research: method, data, analysis, and findings are deconstructed and reconfigured as a mode of relational intra-action.Troubling Method is constructed as a dialogue between the three authors, focusing on their work as qualitative, narrative researchers. The authors revisit six previously published works in which they grapple with the contradictions and ironies of engaging in pragmatist, critical, and feminist qualitative research. After a lengthy introduction which problematizes "method," the book is divided into three sections, each with two chapters that are bracketed by an introduction to the issues discussed in the chapters and then a "dialogue interlude" in which the authors deliberate what makes possible the questions they are raising about method and narrative research. The three sections attend to the central premises of "narrative research as being": 1) relationships, 2) listening, and 3) unknowing.Troubling Method is ideal for introductory or advanced courses in qualitative research, narrative inquiry, educational research, and those aimed at employing critical theories in qualitative and narrative inquiry.…
