Kyle’s Reviews > Material and Digital A/r/tographic Explorations: Walking Matters > Status Update

The next set of authors walk into some very out of the way places to display the diversity of a/r/tography as it moves mostly into East Asia. Hu and Ge use the methodology pointedly to challenge Applied Behavior Analysis for their participants on the spectrum. Hashimoto, on the other hand, takes a more cerebral approach, barely up from his writing desk much less walking outside. Kasahara’s students find a balance.

Other entries in this section are fine but I must use the limited space here to brag about my published chapter on transmedia entertainment which started off as a legitimate postdoctoral research project that fell apart due to the Covid-19 pandemic and was resurrected by the editorial team. I chronicled these events as a first- and second-person dialogue that brings in other voices with academic citations and quotes.

The myriad a/r/tographical methods to walk artistically through an inquiry is proof that there could be whole volumes published by each of these Relational researchers. The spaces they explore are familiar yet transformed through the process of inquiring, much like editor Nicole Lee reflects upon her literal moving experience with the same somber sophistry that one cannot go home again. Pictures help with our recall.
