Advances in Autoethnography and Narrative Inquiry pays homage to
two prominent scholars, Arthur Bochner and Carolyn Ellis, for their
formative and formidable contributions to autoethnography, personal
narrative, and alternative forms of scholarship. Their
autoethnographic-and life-project gives us tools for understanding
shared humanity and precious diversity; for striving to become
ever-more empathic, loving, and ethical; and for living our best
creative, relational, and public lives. The collection is organized
into two sections: "Foundations" and "Futures." Contributors to
"Foundations" explore Carolyn and Art's scholarship and legacy
and/or their singular presence in the author's life. Contributors
to "Futures" offer novel and innovative applications of
autoethnographic and narrative inquiry. Throughout, contributors
demonstrate how Bochner's and Ellis' work has created and shifted
the terrain of autoethnographic and narrative research. This
collection will be of interest to researchers familiar with
Bochner's and Ellis' research. It also serves as a resource for
graduate students, scholars, and professionals who have an interest
in autoethnographic and narrative research. This collection can be
used in upper-division undergraduate courses and graduate courses
solely about autoethnography and narrative, and as a secondary text
for courses about ethnography and qualitative research.

The second edition of the award-winning Handbook of Autoethnography
is a thematically organized volume that contextualizes contemporary
practices of autoethnography and examines how the field has
developed since the publication of the first edition in 2013.
Throughout, contributors identify key autoethnographic themes and
commitments and offer examples of diverse, thoughtful, effective,
applied, and innovative autoethnography. The second edition is
organized into five sections: In Section 1, Doing Autoethnography,
contributors explore definitions of autoethnography, identify and
demonstrate key features of autoethnography, and engage
philosophical, relational, cultural, and ethical foundations of
autoethnographic practice. In Section 2, Representing
Autoethnography, contributors discuss forms and techniques for the
process and craft of creating autoethnographic projects, using
various media in/as autoethnography, and marking and making visible
particular identities, knowledges, and voices. In Section 3,
Teaching, Evaluating, and Publishing Autoethnography, contributors
focus on supporting and supervising autoethnographic projects. They
also offer perspectives on publishing and evaluating
autoethnography. In Section 4, Challenges and Futures of
Autoethnography, contributors consider contemporary challenges for
autoethnography, including understanding autoethnography as a
feminist, posthumanist, and decolonialist practice, as well as a
method for studying texts, translations, and traumas. The volume
concludes with Section 5, Autoethnographic Exemplars, a collection
of sixteen classic and contemporary texts that can serve as models
of autoethnographic scholarship. With contributions from more than
50 authors representing more than a dozen disciplines and writing
from various locations around the world, the handbook develops,
refines, and expands autoethnographic inquiry and qualitative
research. This text will be a primary resource for novice and
advanced researchers alike in a wide range of social science
disciplines.
Motivated by the death of his partner, Adams seeks to redefine the
closet as a relational construct between all people and all
sexualities. The closet is explored at each stage--entering it,
inhabiting it, and coming out of it--and strategies are offered for
reframing difficult closet experiences. Adams makes use of
interviews, personal narratives, and autoethnography to analyze
lived, relational experiences of sexuality. This is a must have for
scholars and students of gender studies, qualitative research, and
for any reader who has felt the closet's reach.

Autoethnography is a method of research that involves describing
and analyzing personal experiences in order to understand cultural
experiences. The method challenges canonical ways of doing research
and recognizes how personal experience influences the research
process. Autoethnography acknowledges and accomodates subjectivity,
emotionality, and the researcher's influence on research. In this
book, the authors provide a historical and conceptual overview of
autoethnography. They share their stories of coming to
autoethnography and identify key concerns and considerations that
led to the development of the method. Next, they outline the
purposes and practices-the core ideals-of autoethnography, how
autoethnographers can accomplish these ideals, and why researchers
might choose to do autoethnography. They describe the processes of
doing autoethnography, conducting fieldwork, discussing ethics in
research, and interpreting and analyzing personal experience, and
they explore the various modes and techniques used and involved in
writing autoethnography. They conclude with goals for creating and
assessing autoethnography and describe the future of
autoethnographic inquiry. Throughout, the authors provide numerous
examples of their work and share key resources. This book will
serve as both a guide to the practices of doing autoethnography and
an exemplar of autoethnographic research processes and
representations.
This edited collection focuses on varying communication
perspectives in the Fifty Shades of Grey series. In particular, the
chapters focus on kinky people's perceptions of the series;
consent, ownership, feminist desire in 24/7 BDSM; erotic romance
writing in the post Fifty Shades of Grey landscape; sexual
education; news coverage of the series; the rhetoric used in the
series; and depictions of consent. The contributors address how a
series as dominant in popular culture as Fifty Shades of Grey can
affect people involved in a community, those on the outside, and
those waiting for an opportunity to explore. Scholars of popular
culture, communication, media studies, literary studies, and
sociology will find this book particularly useful.
Popular culture helps construct, define, and impact our everyday
realities and must be taken seriously because popular culture is,
simply, popular. Communication Perspectives on Popular Culture
brings together communication experts with diverse backgrounds,
from interpersonal communication, business and organizational
communication, mass communication, media studies, narrative,
rhetoric, gender studies, autoethnography, popular culture studies,
and journalism. The contributors tackle such topics as music,
broadcast and Netflix television shows, movies, the Internet, video
games, and more, as they connect popular culture to personal
concerns as well as larger political and societal issues. The
variety of approaches in these chapters are simultaneously situated
in the present while building a foundation for the future, as
contributors explore new and emerging ways to approach popular
culture. From case studies to emerging theories, the contributors
examine how popular culture, media, and communication influence our
everyday lives.
