Q: Why?
A: Sociological fictions offer us so much: evocation, narrative meaning, a sensory attentiveness. With creative writing and visual art we can illustrate research and social worlds in engaging and affecting ways. More than post-hoc illustration, through writing and making we can experiment and open the boundaries of disciplinary knowledges.
