Abstract
This artefact exegesis thesis (thesis) is a phenomenological study of a creative writer’s and reflective researcher’s experiences of writing and researching and reflecting on writing and researching in small places. This is explored in the context of 1) a ‘creative writer’ in the traditional sense of a poet, novelist, playwright, script writer, or songwriter, and 2) a ‘reflective researcher’ consistent with this thesis’ theme, that ‘doing’ or applying (the philosophy of) phenomenology is fundamentally a reflective process involving ‘reflective analysis’.
The focus of this thesis is the author’s (my) own experiences of writing in small places, including the production of the artefact’s 69 sketch stories in which I take an Husserlian ‘suspension’ of my belief in what Heidegger calls the ‘facticity’ and ‘fallenness’ of my own existence to date, namely ‘making a living’, and apply Sartre’s ‘imaginary’ in re-creating – rewriting – these (hard) ‘core’ narratives into ‘living a (meaning) making’.
