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.
