| Popis: | This article describes experiences with a community literacy approach to writing instruction in a cultural studies and literary criticism workshop in Tehran, Iran (2009-2014). The writers narrate the process of writing a book undertaken by a group of Iranian feminists, who chose to write about and critique dominant discourses in Iranian hip hop, in an attempt to start a conversation with young underground Iranian rappers. Adopting collaborative practitioner inquiry, the researchers discuss different steps of the process of writing and publishing the book, and also the pitfalls and challenges that they encountered in the project and the ensuing interventions. In the course of sharing their reflections, the writers highlight the sociocultural and power relational contexts of their writing process to sensitise writing instructors to the often invisible social and political layers of the act of writing. Keywords: community literacy, community publishing, writing studies, practitioner inquiry ----- Una indagacion practicante colaborativa en contextos societales y relacionales de poder en eventos textuales de una comunidad de escritores activistas Resumen Este articulo describe experiencias con un enfoque de alfabetizacion comunitaria para la instruccion de la escritura en un taller de estudios culturales y critica literaria en Teheran, Iran (2009-2014). Los escritores narran el proceso de escribir un libro por parte de grupo de feministas iranies, que eligieron escribir y criticar los discursos dominantes en el hip hop irani en un intento por iniciar una conversacion con jovenes raperos iranies del underground. Adoptando la indagacion practicante colaborativa, los investigadores discuten diferentes pasos del proceso de la escritura y publicacion del libro y tambien los escollos y los desafios que encontraron en el proyecto y en las consiguientes intervenciones. En el transcurso de la socializacion de sus reflexiones, los escritores resaltan los contextos socioculturales y relaciones de poder del proceso de escribir para sensibilizar a los instructores de escritura sobre las capas sociales y politicas a menudo invisibles del acto de escribir.
