This chapter defines loneliness and explains the approach of the research. The project was committed to investigating loneliness beyond individualising and psychological accounts. Instead there was a commitment to engage with the social conditions of loneliness, such as poverty, inequality and precarity which shape youth experience. Youth work practices and partnership working were crucial to developing safe and productive research relationships with the youth co-researchers throughout the project. Loneliness is something that cuts through and across young people’s lives and so the study of it requires a transdisciplinary dialogue, bringing together insights from diverse fields to understand youth loneliness where lonely young people are not just lonely nor are they merely young. The chapter concludes with an outline of book’s structure.Less

Arising from a period of intense social upheaval and technological innovation, late 20th-century writers and artists challenge inherited notions of subjectivity and experiment with new hybrid forms of autobiographies composed of both image and text. The introduction provides an overview of how disciplinary boundaries have become more porous, leading to a variety of transdisciplinary visual-verbal self-narrations. The chapter reviews key concerns from Autobiography Studies and Visual Studies and how they redefine image-text relations as a matrix or a network with many surfaces and axes of interaction. The introduction also explains the organization of the book: the work of eight writers-artists–Peter Najarian, Leslie Marmon Silko, Art Spiegelman, Julie Chen, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Carrie Mae Weems, Faith Ringgold, and Edgar Heap of Birds, moving from the most literature-based to the most art-based. In dialogue with historical trauma and its consequences, each author asks crucial questions about American identity.Less
