Abstract
In a short essay titled "Why," Virginia Woolf daringly questioned the ways in which knowledge is produced, performed, and proclaimed as particular kinds of truths in institutions of power and authority, including academic writing. She subversively suggested, "The little twisted sign that comes at the end of the question has a way of making the rich writhe" and advised that such questions choose their "asking place with care". In this article, we suggest that the "post" scholarship moment is the moment to ask new questions about the ways Woolfian inspired life-writing as a performance of self and social worlds might be engaged to trouble and open up what the "product" and performance of academic work, words, and worlds might come to be.
