Abstract

How can one apply trans-disciplinary methods to a practice-based research? The article addresses this question through a self-reflexive piece on a transdisciplinary documentary film presented as a Ph.D. research. The research focuses on the summer holiday practices of veiled women in Turkey to explore the triangular relationship between bodies, spaces and practices. The author argues that a trans-disciplinary research requires a multimethodological approach and demonstrates how documentary film analysis, fieldwork, participant observation, interviews, ethnographic filmmaking and documentary film practice can be applied together methodologically. Additionally, the article explores how artistic methods and narratives are used by the researcher to visually represent veiled women. Concepts such as and constitutes the recurring themes of the article.
