What is really important to me, is to understand. For me, writing is the integral part
of this process of understanding. […] writing establishes certain things. If I manage
to process my thoughts adequately in writing, that satisfies me. […] I do not see
myself as influential […] I see myself as somewhat of an onlooker. For if others
understand the same way I've understood, that gives me a sense of satisfaction, like
being among equals.
Hannah Arendt in Arendt (1964)
Academic articles that are easiest to read are the hardest to write. Writing creatively and reflexively is a humbling experience of introspection. For the researcher to be vulnerable to the work, it takes courage.
