Autoethnografie

  • Chapter
Handbuch Qualitative Forschung in der Psychologie

Zusammenfassung

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 Grundsätze der Autobiografie und Ethnografie, um Autoethnografie zu betreiben und zu schreiben. Daher bezeichnet Autoethnografie sowohl eine Methode/einen Prozess als auch ein Produkt.

Aus dem Englischen übersetzt von Paul Sebastian Ruppel und Katja Mruck.
