Autoethnography as Testimony
Since we wrote our last editorial, the political landscape of the world has changed drastically . . . again. The continual barrage of news—both banal and horrific—continues unabated. For example, in the United States, Donald Trump is detaining and deporting documented and undocumented immigrants without due process.1 He has deployed active military units to Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, DC.2 He opened “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida, whic…

Making a Case for Autoethnography
Pursuing, Practicing, and Portraying Qualitative Research
At the Second International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (May 2006), the authors, then graduate students, interviewed Norman Denzin for Carolyn Ellis’s Advanced Qualitative Methods graduate course at the University of South Florida. Only a few parts of the interview had ever been published. The authors include the transcript of the interview here

Good Autoethnography
As Pelias astutely argued more than two decades ago, we devote much of our waking life to critique and evaluation.1 We assess our and others’ (re)actions. We determine whether certain foods, drinks, and flavors will quench us, give us energy, make us sick. We appreciate caring and supportive friends, family, strangers, and students, and we try to avoid those who harm us with their words and deeds. We note how bodies and desires change with time, …
YouToo
In this collaborative autoethnography, we unmask our experiences with sexual assault and harassment in academic contexts through the use of a note format. We describe moments characterized by shame and anger, as well as moments of disciplining when we called out untoward behavior. We call attention to bystanders by describing instances of sexual harassment and assault in an article that will be read primarily by academics. This represents a femin…
Handbook of Autoethnography
"The second edition of this seminal text in the field of autoethnography considers the development and establishing of a fast-moving discipline since the publication of the first edition. Seven of the original handbook chapters are revised; the rest are original contributions and exemplars from some of the most established scholars in the field. A substantially revised structure makes the thematic organisation easier to follow. Combining establis…
Learning to be Editors
Welcome to the first issue of the second volume of the Journal of Autoethnography. This short introductory essay will provide a look backward at where we went during the first year, and look forward to where we are going, as well as what we have learned and been surprised about along the way. It’s been an amazing first year. When we proposed and founded the Journal of Autoethnography, we didn’t know what the year would bring. We didn’t know that …
Practicing Autoethnography and Living the Autoethnographic Life
This chapter details the authors’ approach to doing autoethnographic research. After autoethnography is defined, its history and emergence are described within qualitative research in general and within psychology specifically. The chapter then proposes general guiding principles for those doing autoethnography, including using personal experience, acknowledging existing research, understanding and critiquing cultural experience, calling on insid…

Coming Unhinged
This story tells about an accident that occurred at the 2016 International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry. The first author presents her autoethnography of her partner's fall and her subsequent reaction. Then to complicate and deepen her telling, she crafts a second multivoiced account from the responses of eight people who were part of the event. The participants' stories are juxtaposed to tell a multivoiced tale and to theorize what happened i…
Autoethnography
The authors describe the history of autoethnography, particularly within the communication discipline; discuss key characteristics of autoethnography and identify the purposes of doing autoethnographic research; and provide three examples of doing and writing autoethnography.
Autoethnographic Responsibilities
The author identifies key responsibilities in declaring, justifying, and advocating for autoethnography as an orientation to research, including the need to recognize various perspectives for doing autoethnography and establishing criteria for evaluating autoethnography

Critical Autoethnography, Education, and a Call for Forgiveness
If critical autoethnographers identify and attempt to remedy personal/cultural offenses, then they should also discuss how to live with individuals— themselves included—who have been complicit in and/or committed these offenses. One way critical autoethnographers can do so is through the concept of forgiveness. In this article, I first describe characteristics of forgiveness and establish relationships between forgiveness and critical autoethnogr…
Handbook of Autoethnography
In this definitive reference volume, almost fifty leading thinkers and practitioners of autoethnographic research-from four continents and a dozen disciplines-comprehensively cover its vision, opportunities and challenges. Chapters address the theory, history, and ethics of autoethnographic practice, representational and writing issues, the personal and relational concerns of the autoethnographer, and the link between researcher and social justic…

Family Bullies
In this essay, the authors use autoethnography to critically investigate the problem of bullying within family contexts. They convey and analyze two narratives that illustrate salient ways bullying happens within families, and describe how the relational practices of understanding, dialogue, and forgiveness inform such aggression. This inquiry provokes the reconsideration of normative ways of conceptualizing the family, primarily by proposing a m…

Legislating Humanity
Telling Stories
This essay focuses on intersections of reflexivity as both an orientation to research and a writing practice that brings together the method of autoethnography and the paradigm of queer theory. Taking seriously autoethnography's and queer theory's commitments to uncertain, fluid, and becoming subjectivities, multiple forms of knowledge and representations, and research as an agent of change, we write a series of reflexively queer personal texts. …
Seeking Father
Tension plagues the relationship between the author and his father when it comes to golf- and gay-related issues. The author is also stuck between two canonical stories, one that says he must work things out to fulfill his responsibilities as a son and another that tells him to let go, to realize that he "can't choose his relatives," and to view the relationship as a waste of time. In this project, the author uses a relational paradigm to reframe…
Paradoxes of Sexuality, Gay Identity, and the Closet
In this project, I illustrate how eight premises of sexuality, gay identity, and the closet contribute to the existence of paradox, an interactional situation constituted by contradiction. I first outline the following premises: gay identity is (1) inextricably tied to the metaphor of the closet; coming out is necessary when gay identity (2) is invisible; the closet draws meaning (3) only in relation to heteronormative contexts; gay identity, as …

Truth Troubles
truth" is an issue of public discussion, research, and everyday performance. Processes of navigating truth, however, are obscure and often unknown. In this project, the authors highlight truth(s) of written life texts. They conceive of truth as a rather than the "rhetorical device" to use for evaluating personal research and believe that demanding factual, historical truth-of-life research is faulty and problematic. By illustrating how genre, tru…
Autoethnography and Family Research
This article describes how autoethnography, a research method that uses—and even foregrounds—personal experience, can be used as a method for studying families. We first define autoethnography, describe orientations to autoethnographic research, and review research that has used autoethnography as a method for studying families. Although autoethnography has numerous strengths, four qualities make it especially suitable for doing family research. …

Missing Each Other
In "Seeking Father" ( Adams, 2006 ), I used a relational perspective to understand the relationship I have with my father-a perspective that conceived of our relationship as a co-constitutive endeavor in which we each affected the other, and a perspective that showed how our conflict emerged as a product of joint interaction, of us being, working, and relating-together. In this project, I continue a similar trajectory. I use a relational perspect…
Undoing the Alphabet
This essay is written in and as a queer fugue-a series of themes and variations on grief, on loss and remembering, on the constitutive and dispossessing dance of relationality, and on the possibilities of becoming and forgiving. It is an essay about public mourning, queer relationships, being undone by death and language, and about making a case for recognizing unrecognized and unspeakable grief. It is an essay that recognizes the debts we owe to…

Mothers, Faggots, and Witnessing (Un)Contestable Experience
In this essay, I make two suggestions about personal experience represented in writing. First, I suggest that this experience can be contested when the conditions and the representation of experience are critiqued rather than the experience itself. Second, I suggest that personal experience represented in writing, for example, an autoethnography, can also be 'uncontestable' (Scott, 1991, p. 777). An autoethnography is not a disembodied text. A bo…

A Review of Narrative Ethics
If we use stories as “equipment for living,” as tools to understand, negotiate, and make sense of situations we encounter, then a discussion of narrative ethics is a relevant, if not required, endeavor. In other words, if we learn how to think, feel, and interact with society via narratives, we also learn ethical ways of being with others, “correct” and “appropriate” ways that serve as foundations for many of our interactions. This latter epistem…

Autoethnografie
Autoethnografie ist ein Forschungsansatz, der sich darum bemüht, persönliche Erfahrung (auto) zu beschreiben und systematisch zu analysieren (grafie), um kulturelle Erfahrung (ethno) zu verstehen (Ellis 2004; Holman Jones 2005). Er stellt kanonische Gepflogenheiten, Forschung zu betreiben und zu präsentieren, infrage (Spry 2001) und behandelt Forschung als einen politischen und sozialen Akt (Adams & Holman Jones 2008). Forschende nutzen Grundsätz…

A Complicated Reef
In this study, I describe the relationship between the Florida Aquarium's representation of a coral reef and the live reef that served as the model for the representation. I specifically illustrate how naming practices complicate the aquarium's stated purpose of environmental education. I conclude by suggesting ways the aquarium and other pro-environmental facilities can better manage environmental representation
Size Matters
Situated against a pervasive and normative logic suggesting that bodies, and especially thin-and-fit bodies, matter most and ought to be attained, FatClub.com provokes a counterintuitive cultural scene. This virtual ethnography examines how members of the site jointly constitute community through an elaborate system of linguistic and embodied proweight cultural performances. In turn, these performances ecstatically cite, disidentify, and play wit…
On (Writing) Families
Who are we withâ and withoutâ families? How do we relate as children to our parents, as parents to our children? How are parent-child relationshipsâ and familial relationships in generalâ made and (not) maintained? Informed by narrative, performance studies, poststructuralism, critical theory, and queer theory, contributors to this collection use autoethnographyâ a method that uses the personal to examine the culturalâ to interrogate these questi…

Phenomenologically Investigating Mediated Nature
During the summer of 2001 I worked as a bartender in Wyoming, two miles east of Yellowstone National Park. This opportunity provided me with unique experiences of “the wilderness” and as a result, allowed me to become aware of intricacies of living with in a primarily simulated and mass mediated culture, i.e., the United States. Following tenets of phenomenology, this paper investigates the simulated- and mass mediated-ness of society with specif…
