Troubling autoethnography : critical, creative and deconstructive approaches to writing

Susanne Gannon

Western Sydney University

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

Abstract

This chapter explores the parameters of an 'autoethnography to come' that might be endlessly expansive, inventive, and creative. Autoethnography is approached as a troubling textual space where writer(s) and reader(s) meet and touch, momentarily, or are repelled, where affect moves and the material things and events of the world bump up against each other in unpredictable ways. The chapter samples six specific experiments in writing risky, relational, provisional subjectivities, and attuning to affective and material modalities.
