Spry's Autoethnography and the Other (Me)
The author uses performance autoethnography to explore the impact of Professor Tami Spry's work in his life
Writing Through and Writing Against
This article concerns how writing, collaborative writing in particular, acts: how it moves, how it resists, how it does, the four humans writing alongside our co-authoring ‘materials’ – a guitar, for instance – and other more-than-human co-authors, such as affect, friendship, time. We explore writing against systems of oppression and writing through materials of resistance. Writing through can ignite the seething potentiality of a breaking throug…
“Inter and Enter
This performative and collaborative autoethnography plays with the homophonic or maybe homiletics of “inter” and “enter” as the invitational aspect of collaborative autoethnography. The contribution of diverse collaborators from differing racial, ethnic, geo-spatial locations, and generational standpoints speak to/between experiences with the dialogic aspects of autoethnography; the speaking of self with and for others that is always a part of au…
“Collaborative Autoethnographic Writing as Communal Curative”
This collaborative autoethnography reflects on how each author experienced COVID-19 and associated precarity. We explore the ways in which this experience relates to our identities (both particular and plural), and our positionalities in terms of privilege and marginality. As a collective of diverse collaborators, we confront dialectical questions of self and society. Our contributions reveal our advantage/disadvantage, mobility/immobility, and t…
Writing With
Collaboration in scholarship holds the peculiar position of being expected, encouraged, and, in the process, somewhat taken-for-granted as monolithic academic practice. Collaboration is important for the cultivation of a rich ecosystem of ideas, thoughts, methods, theories, and experimentation. It seems safe to assume that most scholars would agree with the need and the possibilities of collaboration. Yet, collaboration in scholarship is often un…
Ninguém solta a mão de ninguém
Por meio de uma autoetnografia performática, os autores buscam problematizar os limites e as potencialidades do medo na contemporaneidade, propondo caminhos a partir da resistência, da esperança e do amor. Considerando seus movimentos diaspóricos e o encontro com diferentes culturas e épocas, o potencial de proposições dialógicas e de construção de pontes se reflete na interface do corpo com a cultura-sociedade
Autoetnografias dos entre-mundos
Betweeners (palavra criada pelos autores): utilizamos essa possibilidade da língua inglesa (de tradução difícil) no decorrer desta versão em português para explicar as condições de pessoas que habitam o espaço entre mundos, entre fronteiras, concretas e socioculturais. Como escrever nossa história entrelaçada com a história de tantos humanos oprimidos, de tantas singularidades e universalidades compartilhadas? Buscamos uma autoetnografia que seja…

A autoetnografia performática e a pesquisa qualitativa na Saúde Coletiva
A autoetnografia performática é uma metodologia de pesquisa qualitativa que busca problematizar as resistências entre o "eu" (auto) e o coletivo (etno) no ato de escrever (grafia). Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é discutir a construção teórico-prática da autoetnografia performática e sua aplicabilidade como método de pesquisa e análise qualitativa no campo da Saúde Coletiva por meio, inclusive, de uma escrita autoetnográfica performática. A parti…
This Text Is (Not) a Scientific Paper
If you are troubled with the way we know the world, with the "traditional" academic sets, with the way certain bodies (maybe your body too) are treated, and with the way certain things are hidden and excluded in academia, so this text is (maybe) for you! . . . if you think "science" is the way to know the world, "valid" knowledges are made in academic sets, and papers represent the "scientific product," this text is also (maybe) for you too! Play…
“I'm Sorry My Hair is Blocking Your Smile”
This performative essay is an instance of embodied writing, an assemblage by seven individuals responding to a shared moment from different perspectives on the politics of hair. In the process we engage the sociological imagination as we turn private troubles into public issues, or better yet, we collectively show how public issues are our private troubles
"O corpo negado pela sua "extrema subjetividade
Buscando compreender as (in)visibilidade dos corpos não heteronormativos na educação médica, a qual sistematicamente sustenta seus discursos institucionais baseados na coerência biológica, olhei para o meu corpo gay , de médico e de professor, para compreender essa cultura e seus desdobramentos. O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir os enfrentamos institucionais iniciais para a realização de uma pesquisa autoetnográfica sobre a homoafetividade na …
Gêneros e sexualidades na educação médica
As diretrizes curriculares nacionais dos cursos de graduação em Medicina reiteram a importância das questões de gênero e sexualidade para o desenvolvimento de competências relacionadas ao cuidado integral em saúde e promoção dos direitos humanos. Diante disso, foi implementado este debate no currículo de uma escola de Medicina no Brasil e discutida a influência na educação e prática em saúde da matriz heteronormativa e seu consequente preconceito…
Authoethnography as an Act of Resistance Against Narratives of Hatred
On November 8, 2016, a presidential candidate running on a campaign marked by exclusion and hatred against so many Others won the election and the U.S. Executive Branch. We, the authors, went from being concerned with the reverberations of Trump's narrative of hatred to the shocking realization that we were entering an era of renewed politics of hatred and exclusion. In this article, we talk about how our autoethnography can help us find our comm…
Autoethnography Manifesto
We write about betweener autoethnographies in this manifesto. We see autoethnography as a way of knowing that has the potential to examine social justice, systems of oppression, and neocolonialism from our encounters with experiences lived in-between identities and worlds. We see life lived in between fixed identities and social categories as a common human experience, and as such, as places where we can expand the circle of Us while also decreas…
Betweener Talk
In this literary, co-constructed narrative, two Brazilian scholars explore the spaces “in-between”—between their own biographies, one raised privileged, the other poor; between the experience of being raised in Brazil and finding acceptance in United States universities; between their lives in the academic establishment and their studies of poverty in Latin America; between the constraints of apolitical scholarship and the need to promote social …
Formas, fôrmas e fragmentos
Nesta autoetnografia performática, os autores exploram a simultaneidade de contar e resistir histórias de experiências vividas como educadores. Usando nossas vidas como recurso, utilizamos nossas experiências como professores, responsáveis pelo processo de formação de nossos futuros colegas, empregando a autoetnografia (AE) da performance e a escrita performática (EP) como nosso referencial teórico-metodológico. A EP da AE revela uma tensão entre…
Autoethnography Below the Equator
In this performance autoethnography, we the authors are inspired by the triple autoethnographic work of Bryant K. Alexander, Hari S. Kumar, and Claudio Moreira. From different moments in their professional careers, they come together to write their biographies into history, creating stories that at the same time resist and demand to be told. Our goal is to write our life into legitimation of a theoretical framework-performance autoethnography-tha…
Performing Betweener Autoethnographies Against Persistent Us/Them Essentializing
How to write our history interlaced with the history of so many oppressed humans from so many singularities and shared universalities? We search for an autoethnography that is performative and transgressive in face of brutal inequalities, obvious injustice, and lame justifications by those with more privilege and power "to name the world." We search for a form of being and writing that goes, without apologies, after the structures of power that s…
Memory, Mourning, and Miracles
This triple autoethnography evidences a process of associative memory, akin to spinstorying or generative autoethnography, that allows the triggering of memory to evolve into a collective sharing of experiences. Each turn in the associated exchanges deepens the authors’ argument about the nature of memory as both singular and shared. This performance script is drawn from a longer performative essay that began with a triggering idea, an entry made…
The Coin Will Continue to Fly
In this performance-theoretical text, we attempt to advance collaborative writing as decolonizing inquiry. Western inquiry has been dominated by the solitary writing of lone rangers of expertise, who are granted disproportionate narrative space to discourse about the Other. We think this exclusionary way of knowing keeps historically marginalized peoples from occupying Western academia as knowledge makers. Building on our collaborative writing ex…
Critical Beginnings
These three scholars met during the First International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (QI) in 2005 when they were put on a panel together for autoethnography. They understand QI as a space of compassionate scholarship. In their text, they allude to Norman Denzin's performance of compassion and his intellectual dream that, accurately, has generated not only the beginning but, more importantly, the continuation and development of such a space. Th…
Real World
As the neoliberal nozzle continues to tighten its grip on education that is public, accessible, critical, inclusive, and liberatory, we hold an even fiercer belief that dogma-free intellectuals, here used according to Edward Said's definition, can serve as one of its most effective oppositional figures. While our decolonizing critique of neoliberalism is as wide as its imperial project, we focus our attention here on how we attempt to examine, ch…
Mother is Not Brown
In this performance autoethnography the author explores the simultaneity of telling and resisting stories of lived experience. In the process the author constructs the notion of "resisting stories" as autoethnographic performance narratives that both resist and demand telling in the process of making themselves public. Through his memories, the author tries to show the in-possible performance of brown-bodied, curlier hair woman, his Mother, in he…
Betweeners Speak Up
While writing together, we have found a dialogical voice that has made our individual work more meaningful, grounded, and fulfilling. Together, we have found a voice that we did not have in our work alone as individuals, a voice that seems, to both of us, more vibrant, truer to our experiences as betweeners and decolonizing scholars. This writing joint-venture exemplifies the very connectedness and co-construction of meaning we advocate in any ty…
Resisting (Resistance) Stories
This is a triple autoethnographic text written by three men of differing racial and cultural backgrounds with the purpose of exploring the nature of their relationships with their fathers. The authors reflect on experiences with their fathers seeking to find answers that might help them resist the replication of pain in their own parenting as well as (in one instance) the resistance to parenting altogether. In each intersecting movement the voice…
Missing Bodies
Subjugated bodies continue to be missing from classrooms, faculty meetings, and educational structures everywhere. Where are the excluded bodies? Where is the untheorized visceral experience of everyday discrimination? Possibilities of inclusiveness must be viscerally felt, not simply disembodiedly spoken. Merely claiming to be a progressive teacher-writer isn't enough to achieve a decolonizing praxis. This claim needs to come from an embodied pe…

Tales of Conde
In this performance autoethnography I am talking about the 'new writing' that is everywhere, but still, it is also nowhere. This is also about Conde, a poor Black Brazilian soccer fan. Mixing together stories I wrote for my master thesis, memories, notes, and 'leftovers' of my field work, my lived experiences, plus six years of my life as grad student at the University of Illinois, I am looking for ways to decolonize inquiry; to decolonize academ…
Unspeakable Transgressions
What does happen, when 'history' and 'heritage' is nowhere to be found or claimed and granted? Drawing in his own mestiço heritage, the author tells the story of Geraldo in relation to his own one. Who was Geraldo? The intention is to challenge categories of knowledge that also relay in 'knowledges' and social constructions, created by mechanisms of colonization even when they are created for the empowerment of the oppressed in many circumstances…
Fragments
This performance autoethnography shows the author's struggle in finding his place, scholarship, voice, and body, into the academic setting. Mixing together memories of his lived experience with sugar cane workers, notes, and leftovers of different fieldworks, plus 6 years of life as grad student at the University of Illinois, the author looks for ways to decolonize inquiry; to decolonize academia. From a present space created by a deep immersion …

I hate chicken breast

In the process, the author constructs the notion of “resisting stories” as autoethnographic narratives that both resist and demand telling in the process of making themselves public.

Decolonizing constructions of childhood and history
Together, we the authors, wonder, write, imagine, suffer, and criticize the support of the Belo Monte Monster Dam in the Rio Xingu, in the heart of the Amazon, by two of our personal heroes and fellow Brazilians: Lula, former president and iconic founder of the Workers’ Party, and, Dilma Rousseff, our presidenta guerilheira. Using our autoethnographic reflections, memories, street poetry, and decolonizing wanderings, we try to make sense of this …

(Un)Safe! Fighting the Po-lice in Quasi-educational Spaces of Bathrooms
Who gives ethnographers the authority to do research? Whose bodies are in and/or out of researchers' practices or roles? In this performance autoethnography, I explore the (im)possibilities of these questions, pressing concerns that remain interconnected with discussions of ethnographic reflexivity. I convey how, despite the rise of conscientization resulting from the Crisis of Representation in the 1980s, knowledge production about the Other sti…

Life in So Many Acts
In this piece, drawing from performance autoethnography, third world feminism, and postcolonial/cultural studies, the author interrogates "how do I play scholar?" The author uses Judith Butler's question "how do I play gender?" and her notions of performativity to dance around, using the voices of the "Thug" and the "Scholar," in a quest for a performative scholarship that honors the author's commitment with social justice and at the same time, d…

This Is home, or Is It
In this article, as suggest by the subtitle, I try to expose a kind of hidden homelessness. One that is not worse than others but important to bring to light. One where narratives are missing. One that goes against the essentializing of home as a middle-class heterosexual construction while not negating the desire for a home by the ones that have none.This is a textual performance about the idea of linking traditional notions of home with how aca…

Transgressive Borders
This performance piece is a collaboration between three diasporic subjects: a brown woman from Puerto Rico, an American-Persian-Iraqi woman, and a (White) Brazilian man. Their stories are weaved together to narrate a collective piece of diasporic life that moves across different social-cultural-political contexts and time. Reyes Cruz narrates her personal borders as she grew up, left her home country, and returned. Yomtoob tells stories that conn…
The Power of Metaphor
Friday, May 20, Champaign, IL. It’s my first time back to the place I called home for the past nine years. Weird . . . I’m a professor now. Or at least, I have a job at UMass that says so. Just the driving from Chicago to Champaign-Urbana was special. My partner Dani and I could recollect our first drive almost ten years ago. How we could not speak the language or even read the traffic signs. The anxiety of the first road toll where we had no ide…

When Janitors Dare to Become Scholars
In this performance autoethnography we re-present our experiences of disembodied knowledge construction in mainstream American academia. We claim that knowledge production about the Other still tends to reify the very oppression it intends to challenge. Can a janitor become a scholar without having to bury experiences under layers of theory and other technologies of justification? Or are marginalized humans relegated to a subordinate position of …

The Good, the Better, and the Beautiful
This coperformed autoethnographic inquiry explores 'the West' as both a seductive and a subjugating narrative terrain on which betweener identities must navigate the colonizing structures of Western epistemologies. On this terrain, we collaboratively engage the metaphors and tropes of 'Cowboys' and 'Indians' within a broader critique of knowledge production in the Western academy. As a decolonizing performance, our journey invites a collective tu…
