“…Non-observance and/or non-achievement of these disciplinary ideals necessarily results in censure or punishment (Foucault, 1979). The prisoner must take these ideations into account in their performance of everyday self (Corey, 1996) and this adds further constraints, and complexities, to those performances. Risk, and its cognizant practices (measurement and management), have come to permeate, if not dominate, every facet of contemporary penal systems (Clear and Cadora, 2001).…”

“…Another lifer, Tully, captured this when he noted that prison ‘ makes you work at being someone else ’. This reality presented a number of problems for young men whose identities were barely established prior to their becoming incarcerated (Corey, 1996). The first is that, for many there existed an ambiguity on what identity they were supposed to have.…”

All prisoners have their identity stripped from them and, ultimately, reconstructed by the institutions in which they are incarcerated. However, for life and indeterminately sentenced prisoners the effects of this process, reinforced over extended periods, creates a particular set of burdens. For it is this population, above and beyond that of other prisoners, who need to address the implications of an imposed carceral identity in both navigating the day-to-day life of the prison and securing release. The four core burdens are firstly, an ambiguity on what identity indeterminately sentenced prisoners were supposed to have. Secondly, reconciling an imposed identity that they did not necessarily feel adhered to their pre-established sense of self. Thirdly, recognition that in order to operate or perform within the prison they needed to adopt an institutionally acceptable form of their self. Fourthly, that they had to manage how their performance of self was judged and recorded by the prison. This article aims to contribute to the growing body of work on Narrative Criminology by arguing that these burdens results in what I define as narrative labour.

“…When researchers do venture behind bars to conduct qualitative research, they rarely focus on correctional officers (for an exception, see Conover, 2000), opting rather to tell the stories of inmates (e.g., Corey, 1996) or administrative employees (e.g., Waldron & Krone, 1991). [2] This question has also proven fruitful in past emotion labor studies (e.g., Hopfl & Linstead, 1993;Morgan & Krone, 1999).…”

“…The audience also located themselves within the narratives shared during the performance. Corey (1996) explains the personal narrative "[creates] a dynamic interplay between self and others" (p. 57). As the respondent shared her/his narrative, the story continued to transform.…”

A Dancing Paradox

This research investigates how dancers constitute and make sense of themselves and the worlds they live in through the interstitial, and intersectional processes of remembering. I investigate the following two research questions within this thesis: 1) How do dancers remember their pedagogical experiences in dance studios? 2) What happens to oral histories when they are approached as dances, and when they are literally danced? I frame the first research question within my literature review and I investigate what I call Traditional Western Dance Pedagogy. While the characteristics of Traditional Western Dance Pedagogy are not universal, unchanging, and absolute, they are important markers of the dominant pedagogical practices in dance environments. I frame the second research question within my chapter on method and methodology. My research method moves through five steps: 1) Qualitative In-Depth Interviews. 2) Collaborative Rehearsals. 3) Live Public Performances Question and Answer Sessions. 5) Wrap-up interviews. I discuss how the steps of my method shaped the results of both research questions. I then present the results of both research questions and deconstruct the research. This research was greatly shaped by the intersecting contradictions of past histories, and the productive unplanned tensions that moved each story to the future.
