“…Both refuse to close down inventiveness, refuse static legitimacy (Foucault 1981, Gingrich-Philbrook 2005. Both embrace an opportunistic stance toward existing and normalizing techniques in qualitative inquiry, choosing to 'borrow,' 'refashion,' and 'retell' methods and theory in inventive ways (Hilfrich 2006: 218-19, Koro-Ljungberg 2004, Plummer 2005. Both take up selves, beings, or 'I's, even as both work against a stable sense of self-subjects or experience.…”

“…In doing so, I am using an auto-ethnographic approach, which is reflexive (Evans, 2007) and attempts to understand what processes are at work within a lived experience (Atkinson, 2006). Auto-ethnography goes beyond offering voice through storytelling (Cooper, 1991) to examining how the author has lived the story, bringing together autobiography and ethnography (Hilfrich, 2006). It is a personal narrative (Rodriguez, 2006), chosen because the author's engagement in the issue offers a richness that is not likely to be accessed by an observer (Atkinson, 2006).…”

Reflections on and of Self in South Africa

Qualitative Social Work

For social workers who are working within a discipline associated with social control an awareness of one’s social location and the impacts thereof is critical. This is particularly true in South Africa, where issues of power, race and class have been overtly contested over centuries. However, the South African literature largely overlooks the necessity of such examination, ignoring issues of power and domination in the social work relationship. I offer my own auto-ethnographic reflections as a South African social worker and researcher, living in Canada, critically examining how power was negotiated. The issues raised here may be relevant for those examining their practice in other contexts. Further, these reflections are useful in the international social work discourse, particularly to researchers engaging in transnational endeavours.
