本文探讨了最近关于民族志写作的争论,阐述了四种反身性:忏悔性、理论性、文本性和解构性。然后,它说明了作者如何将这种反思实践纳入他最近的民族志。本文普遍主张将自传和民族志融合为“文化马克思主义”的观点。这种观点也借鉴了多种认识论和女权主义的科学观念,并强调了用普通语言写作的重要性。这种叙事实验旨在用一种更具反身性的现实主义叙事风格取代旧的科学民族志现实主义叙事风格。作者认为,反思性认识论和叙事实践将使民族志成为一种更吸引人、更有用、更公开的讲故事类型。
This paper explores the recent debates on ethnographic writing by explicating four types of reflexivity: confessional, theoretical, textual, and deconstructive. It then illustrates how the author has incorporated such reflexive practices into his recent ethnographies. The paper generally advocates blending autobiography and ethnography into a 'cultural Marxist' standpoint. This perspective also draws upon multiple epistemologies and feminist notions of science, and it highlights the importance of writing in ordinary language. Such narrative experimentation aims to replace the old scientific ethnographic realist narrative style with a more reflexive realist narrative style. The author argues that reflexive epistemological and narrative practices will make ethnography a more engaging, useful, public storytelling genre.
