Drawing on three culturally specific research projects, this paper examines how community-based knowledge brokers' engagement in brokering knowledge shaped the projects' processes. Informed by Deleuze and Guattari's (1987) conceptualization of the "rhizome," we discuss how community knowledge brokers' engagement in open research-creation practices embrace the relational foundation of Indigenous research paradigms in contrast to mainstream Western research practices that are engaged as linear, objective, and outcome-oriented activities. In turn, we offer propositions for building team environments where open research-creation practices can unfold, informing a periphery of shared space for Indigenous and Western paradigms.
基于三个特定文化背景下的研究项目,本文探讨了社区知识中介在知识中介过程中的参与如何塑造了项目进程。受德勒兹和瓜塔里(1987)对“根茎”概念的启发,我们讨论了社区知识中介参与开放研究创作实践如何体现了本土研究范式的关系基础,这与西方主流研究实践形成对比,后者是线性、客观且以结果为导向的活动。相应地,我们提出了关于构建团队环境的建议,在这种环境中开放研究创作实践能够展开,为本土和西方范式的共享空间提供一个边缘地带。
