Abstract:

This book seeks to disrupt the narrative about the process of academic
writing and the written products which are currently valued in the
university by juxtaposing the messiness and deletions of the writing
process with the hegemonic imaginary of what research writing should
look like. The author uses writing as both a subject and a method of
enquiry in an ethnographic deep dive into her long-term engagement
with a postgraduate writers' circle in an elite South African
university. The book engages with growing global interest in the
geopolitics of research writing and its relationship to patterns of
epistemic privilege, drawing on current work on decolonising knowledge
production. It opens a space to widen and deepen how we imagine the
relationship between writing and knowledge-making.
