From Genre Blurring to Audience Blending: Reflections on the Field Emanating from an Ethnodrama

Abstract

Examines a distinctive genre represented by the ethnodrama, "Finding My Place," relating this work to the practice of arts-based research in educational ethnography. The drama highlighted the relationship between a prominent educational ethnographer and the young man who was his research subject. Discusses the kinds of textual practice invented during the phase in the history of qualitative research known as the "movement of blurred genres." (SM)
