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.
