“…It is also our aim that this work might inform continued research on urban youth counternarratives and their connections to multimodality and multiliteracies. We also support Le Blanc's (2016) call for a methodology of amalgamated narratives. Our graphic representation here is one attempt to show the "messy" process of research, the uncertainty and ambiguity through which much research is both approached and written up.…”

“…We situate the stories of the youth in sociohistorical contexts by juxtaposing their narratives with texts and images from the media (popular and social). As Le Blanc (2016) argues, such a contrast undermines the dominance of a single (master) narrative. This conceptualization of composite stories is our attempt to draw on the affordances of new media and its presence in youth's lives.…”

“…1 We do so to "denote the various discourses that constitute [our] narrative and to undermine the dominance of a single voice or solitary story" (Le Blanc, 2016, p. 477). We were moved to present the findings in this way after reading Le Blanc's (2016) work in which she deliberately chooses certain fonts to represent her participants' voices versus her own fieldnotes, and text boxes about the sociopolitical context of the time. We quote her rationale here at length to echo her call for a more intersectional and narrative-driven approach to qualitative research: This use of different fonts in the narrative .…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze the narratives constructed by urban youth in a summer program for future educators of color. In particular, we asked, "In what ways do students use texts to create counternarratives of urban education?" Utilizing visual counternarratives and counterstorytelling as theoretical frames, and through thematic analysis and visual amalgamated findings, we examined how students' written, visual, and audio texts countered stereotypes. Findings revealed that students used texts to create counternarratives of self, schools, and society. Keywords urban education, students of color, counternarratives, stereotypesOur classroom walls are cracked/from the beating of our hearts/because we are alive and Black. We are marching on the battlefield/even if you won't see us. With a pencil in hand, we fight/for our right to be more than a statistic. Because you try to write us/ink and blood smearing your pages like we are an experiment/ just an outrage in history/where our story is yet to be told. We are stitching the binding/wishing you'll open a page/and just read.

This article examines the use of qualitative data analysis software (QDAS) as a means of disrupting conventional research practices. It is based on a study that used NVivo 10 toward the construction of a “postmodern pastiche” of research narratives. Although QDAS has frequently been touted as a means to assuage concerns that qualitative research lacks transparency, rigor, and validity by permitting such inquiry to be codified, quantified, and confined, this research used the tool toward the construction of counter-narratives. This study aimed to transform the digital tool via the use of “mutated dominant practices.” NVivo 10’s hypertextual environment subverted the authority of any one privileged telling and allowed for the creation of research narratives that were fluid, fragmented, and resisted closure. Underpinned by a postmodern theoretical perspective and using an alternative multicase methodology, this study explored the narratives of three self-identified female gamers.
