Insiders are often charged with the tendency to present their group in an unrealistically favourable light, and their work is often considered to be overshadowed by the enclosed, self-contained world of common understanding. This article draws upon data generated by six participants from a research project, which aimed to explore and represent the everyday experiences of working-class mothers and daughters residing on a peripheral social housing estate. The article describes how I, as an indigenous researcher, employed visual methods of data production in order to suspend my preconceptions of familiar territory, and facilitate an understanding of the unique viewpoints of mothers and daughters on the margins of contemporary Britain. The article focuses the usefulness of the approach for making the familiar strange when the researchers own experience mirrors that of their participants.

Taking Refuge in the Branches of a Guava Tree: The Difficulty of Retaining Consenting and Nonconsenting Participants’ Confidentiality as an Indigenous Researcher

However, in this article, I move beyond issues of the immediate concerns of anonymity to a wider application that encompasses the position of research participants, the researcher, and that of individuals who are unaware that they are a focus of research. The research study focused on the experiences of mothers and daughters residing in a marginalized housing area in urbanized South Wales, United Kingdom. The article draws specifically on data that present the darker side of family life and explores the affective landscapes of trust, confidentiality, silence, and the unintended consequences that encroach upon, and beyond, research relationships in indigenous qualitative inquiry.

If You Did Not Care, You Would Not Notice: Recognition and Estrangement In Psychopathology

Moreover, he suggests a way of disambiguating "familiarity" and proposes that the experience of Capgras patients is accounted for in terms of estrangement. Although we share the concern that the concept of familiarity might be used too broadly, we find his proposed solution problematic with respect to the Capgras delusion.

In this brief commentary, we address two interrelated issues. (1) Can estrangement from an object of experience be coherently distinguished from the failure of re-identification of that object? (2) Given that the delusional belief is what essentially characterizes the Capgras syndrome, can the experience of Capgras patients be accounted for independently of a reference to their delusional beliefs?

High Familiarity Enhances Visual Change Detection for Face Stimuli

In three experi- ments, we presented briefly and successively two pairs of faces (either famous or recently learned), masking each presentation. Between the first and the second presentations, one face changed, and the task was to locate this change. Performance was significantly better when the change involved a fa- mous face. This superfamiliarity effect was found only for changes occurring in the left visual field and was abolished by inverting the faces. Extended prior study of the recently learned faces did not improve performance with these stimuli. The results suggest that superfamiliarity promotes highly ef- ficient visual processing and may especially activate a configural mode of analysis.
