자기민속지학의 쟁점과 현황 = Issues of autoethnography

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to introduce autoethnography that has recently become a non-negligible form of qualitative research and to discuss its present condition in Korea. Korean qualitative researchers have worked peacefully, not paying much attention to the ``crisis of representation`` in the social sciences. The critical perspectives on researcher`s authority, reflexivity, relationship between author and reader, writing and text construction have been relatively unknown to them. Autoethnography is a promising qualitative method that describes personal experience in experimental writing forms to allow readers to empathize author`s feelings and understand broader social phenomena. With the autoethnographic research practice, korean qualitative research would be richer and expanded.
