| Descripción: | AbstractAs members of a language and literacy doctoral cohort, we four authors attempt to situate ourselves within a community of practice in which knowledge is socially constructed. In this context, we explore our identities as collaborative writers and researchers. This paper documents the self-study that we undertook while collaboratively writing scholarly articles. We framed our research with three questions addressing process, product, and theory. How do individual writers approach a collaborative assignment, both emotionally and cognitively? Do writers perceive a difference in the quality of collaborative text versus individual text? How does experience connect to theory? Our experience indicated an increased consciousness of our writing processes and made us more aware of issues of style, audience, and clarity. Furthermore, the data emphasized the relational aspect of collaborative writing. We concluded that collaborative writing has a place in doctoral studies for its potential in increasing dialogue within a discourse community.RésuméNous sommes une cohorte doctorale de quatre étudiants dans le domaine de la langue et de la littératie. Nous formons une communauté de praticiens au sein de laquelle le savoir est construit socialement. Dans ce contexte, nous explorons nos identités respectives en tant que collaborateurs en recherche et en écriture. Cet article documente l’étude que nous avons entreprise en rédigeant collaborativement des articles académiques. Notre projet était encadré par trois questions portant sur le processus, le produit et la théorie : Comment un auteur aborde-t-il une tâche collaborative aux niveaux émotif et cognitif? Les auteurs perçoivent-ils un écart entre la qualité d’un texte rédigé en collaboration et celle d’un texte écrit individuellement? Quels rapports y a-t-il entre l’expérience et la théorie? Notre expérience a révélé une prise de conscience accrue quant au processus d’écriture de chacun et aux problèmes de style, de lectorat et de clarté. En outre, l’aspect relationnel de l’écriture avec collaborateurs s’est vu amplifié. Nous concluons que l’écriture collaborative a sa place au niveau doctoral en raison de son potentiel d’amélioration du dialogue au sein d’une communauté discursive. |
