Autoethnography is generating increasing levels of interest in research circles, gaining popularity as an innovative and inciting qualitative approach. Drawing on the vast diversity of researchers” opinions on autoethnographic praxes, this book presents a cogent analysis of the ongoing debates in the field before moving on to the discussion of a new approach to both theorizing about and ”doing” autoethnography: a ”symbiotic autoethnography”.
This approach synthesizes central aspects from the diversity of existing arguments into one adaptable ”framework” that combines key characteristic features of autoethnographic research. The author uses the concept of ”symbiosis” in its broader sense to denote close interdependence and interrelation between its suggested seven attributes, including temporality, researcher”s omnipresence, evocative storytelling, interpretative analysis, political (transformative) focus, reflexivity and polyvocality. The book offers both experienced and novice researchers a theoretically informed multi-functional and multi-disciplinary methodological tool that can accommodate the dynamics of diverse personal experiences within a topography of specific professional, cultural and socio-political contexts.
