| Abstract | Reflecting on the transformative potential of participatory theatre methods for social research, the article draws on a project with ethnically diverse migrant mothers in London. The research reframes the experiences and practices of socially and ethnically marginalized migrant mothers as active interventions into citizenship. We also challenge recurring public discourses casting migrant mothers as threats to social and cultural cohesion who do not contribute but instead draw on the resources of the welfare state. We highlight how participatory theatre methods create spaces for the participants to enact social and personal conflicts. It also validates migrant mothers’ subjugated knowledges of caring and culture work creating new forms of citizenship. By enacting different versions of collective stories, the theatre sessions therefore become rehearsals for socio-political transformations. © 2017, © The Author(s) 2017. |
Participatory theatre for transformative social research. com/home/qrj Abstract Reflecting on the transformative potential of participatory theatre methods for social research the article draws on a project with ethnically diverse migrant mothers in London. This democrati- zation takes place on three levels: first we suggest that participatory theatre methods allow migrant mothers to articulate their subjugated knowledges and challenge patholo- gizing discourses of migrant mothers as outsiders of citizenship. This is particularly significant for those whose marginalization is partly constituted by their social isolation and the idea that their experiences are not a subject worthy of poli- tics. Developing making explicit and sharing such subjugated knowl- edge is already an important part of social transformation.
