Abstract
The questions that are of perennial interest to me as a critical autoethnographer with poststructuralist inclinations are: How might a self be materialized or made possible in a text? What are the ethical and material and methodological consequences of the textual choices we make as autoethnographers, and what assumptions lie behind these consequences? What might be entailed in shifting from self to subjectivity? What are the relations negotiated from moment to v moment within which the speaking self comes into being? Where are the "others" in our ethnographic texts, besides the subject, and beyond the human? In particular I'm interested in textual work and the performances of subjectivity that might be possible in autoethnography.
