Descripción

In this presentation we share emerging findings from our rhetorical genre analysis of a corpus of ‘shadow CVs’—loosely defined as dossiers that focus on failures, missed opportunities, and rejections. We ask: (1) How are experiences of failure conceptualised and recontextualised through other genres such as the shadow CV? (2) What do shadow CVs reveal about academic social practices, particularly with regards to maintaining or subverting the status quo? We argue that understanding how failure figures in researchers’ narratives represents a critical and necessary element in identifying alternative measures, practices, and infrastructures that are required to sustain non-traditional research.
