CRITICAL WRITING FOR EMBODIED APPROACHES - ELIZ...

Autoethnography is a unique discipline which steps inside and outside the self to experience 
embody and express social and cultural meaning. At once a performative  political and poetic
genre of research writing  it holds the potential to uncover the 'heart of the world'  if only
for a moment. The author uses theory as story and story as theory to explore her place in the
world through painstaking and intimate self and social narratives to lay bare the unique
challenges and rewards of autoethnography. Framed around the metaphor of 'heartlines'  the
author explores autoethnographic practice as critical feminist and decolonial work and the
power it holds for not only imagining a wise  ethical and loving world  but for making such a
kind place possible. Through a performative journey of the heart  we travel with the author as
she unearths the power of words  of writing and not-writing  evoking in particular the work of
Hélène Cixous and Virginia Woolf. This reflective  passionate and pioneering volume will be of
interest and value to all those interested in autoethnography and the ways in which it can be
applied as critical  ethical and political work in the social sciences.
