I know that you, Jeffrey, have spent a lot more time and thinking on this. Coming straight from identity debates with my fellow students, though, it strikes me, how little the approach used to be acknowledged and valued in the past. It does seem to be strongly correlated with the high level of status we assign to objectivity which interferes with the obvious lack of such in auto-ethnographic projects. I believe that reflecting on the extent to which we can be objective and what contributions can be made by consciously researching in a rather subjective manner would be the way forward. Yet, this touches upon the can of worms called ‘Methodenstreit’, I reckon.
