Dear Judy, In response to your query about work that draws on multiple
traditions and addresses lived experience: I have been inspired by the
work of Patti Lather:

"Troubling angels: Interpretive and textual strategies in researching the
lives of women with HIV/AIDS," Qualitative Inquiry 1: 41-68,

and

Patti Lather and Chris Smithies (1995) Troubling Angels: Women Living with
HIV/AIDS. Columbus, OH: Greyden Press.

She also wrote an excellent piece a couple of years ago in The Sociological
Quarterly, on "Transgressive Validity," I don't have the exact cite here.

It seems so simple
when things or people
have modified each other's qualities
somewhat;
we almost forget the oddity
of that.
