“Here to Tell Her Story”

Abstract

This article examines the debate between honoring the agency of the teller of personal stories and honoring the stories themselves as legitimate objects of critical inquiry. It takes an autoethnographic monologue of a woman who has recently experienced homelessness from zAmya Theatre Project’s community-based play Housed and Homeless (From the Very Same Cup) as an extended case study and employs multiple existing models of analyzing autoethnographic performance, critiquing each model in turn, and assessing these methods in relationship to the desire to ethically analyze autoethnography.

Methodology or method? A critical review of qualitative case study reports

“…Descriptions of the case were often not adequate to ascertain why the case was selected, or whether it was a particular exemplar or outlier (Thomas, 2011). In a number of case studies in the health and social science categories, it was not explicit whether the case was of something particular, or peculiar to their discipline or field (Adamson & Holloway, 2012; Bronken et al, 2012; Colón-Emeric et al, 2010; Jackson, Botelho, Welch, Joseph, & Tennstedt, 2012; Mawn et al, 2010; Snyder-Young, 2011). There were exceptions in the methods category (Table III), where cases were selected by researchers to report on a new or innovative method.…”

“…Triangulation of sources was used to reveal as much depth as possible in the study by Nagar-Ron and Motzafi-Haller (2011), while also enhancing confirmation validity. There were several case studies that would have benefited from improved range and use of data sources, and descriptions of researcher–case interactions (Ajodhia-Andrews & Berman, 2009; Bronken et al, 2012; Fincham, Scourfield, & Langer, 2008; Fourie & Theron, 2012; Hooghe et al, 2012; Snyder-Young, 2011; Yeh, 2013). …”

“…There were common issues identified. Secondary sources were used as primary methodological references indicating that study design might not have been theoretically sound (Colón-Emeric et al, 2010; Coltart & Henwood, 2012; Roscigno et al, 2012; Snyder-Young, 2011). Authors and sources cited in methodological descriptions were inconsistent with the actual study design and practices used (Fourie & Theron, 2012; Hooghe et al, 2012; Jorrín-Abellán et al, 2008; Mawn et al, 2010; Rytterström et al, 2013; Wimpenny & Savin-Baden, 2012).…”

“He ganado el balón de oro como Messi”: estudio sobre una experiencia de danza inclusiva con personas sin hogar

“…Esta ausencia de praxis tiene su correlato en la investigación científica: salvo notables excepciones (Campo-Tejedor et al, 2019;Ducca Cisneros, 2020;Gallagher, 2016;Snyder-Young, 2011;Wrentschur, 2008), existe un "vacío epistemológico" en la materia. En las bases de datos internacionales apenas hay estudios que se interesen específicamente por la inclusión de las personas sin hogar en las artes, sea con fines profesionales o artísticos.…”
