Expanding upon previous theorizing of Art·I/f/act·ology published in Qualitative Inquiry in 2008, this article offers autoethnographic re:collections of a performance/paper presented at the international Academic Identities in Crisis? conference at the University of Central Lancashire, held in September 2008. The conference version used textual and photographic bricolage as a method for re:viewing public and private subjectivities in the continually becoming of an academic. The artifacts highlighted during the performance/paper combined the (mostly) public—including but not limited to drafts, publications, ah-ha moments, and setbacks of a PhD journey—with the (mostly) private—photographs and poetries of mothering and daily life. As with the performance/paper that preceded it, the contribution of this work se veut (wants to be) an approach to working with shadows of embodied knowing/becoming as/in academia.
