自我民族志是“一种研究和写作方法,旨在描述和系统分析个人经历,以理解文化经验。这种方法挑战了进行研究和代表他人的规范方式,并将研究视为一种政治、社会公正和社会意识的活动研究人员利用自传和民族志的原则来进行和撰写自传民族志。因此,作为一种方法,自传民族志既是过程也是产品。
(埃利斯、亚当斯和博赫纳,2011)

(左键单击视频和/或博客链接以进行描述性反思)
2024/05/12: Being in Time is a 35 min auto-ethnographic film, the first half of a two-part digital feature. It explores foreign EFL teacher identity construct dialectics in contemporary China, qualified by China/West geopolitical tensions. It is an experimental pilot to an ongoing, episodic series within a longitudinal autoethnographic trans-media parent project. This parent project relates my lived experience as an EFL teacher in China's language education system. I worked within this system in both the public, government-run sector (secondary education in Xinjiang [XUAR] prior to tertiary pedagogic practice in Shandong and Shanghai) and the private, corporate driven EdTech sector (in Shanghai). The film was completed during "zero-Covid" conditions in China from 2020/02 to 2022/12. Second part production was thereafter initiated in tandem with my current tertiary level teaching of Inter-Cultural Communication [IC]. READ MORE

2.2.1(a) LATEST DIARY FILM
日记电影播放列表:按时间顺序排列的短篇自民族志重新概念化日记电影格式选集,也许是令人回味的解释主义。以游记为基础,但出于审美和话语目的而大量剪辑。偶尔更新为可能用于未来选集的作品。

FEATURE FILM ROUGH-CUT: An artifact - incomplete record of the last time I saw my father alive and the two of us re-visited his former hometown of Coober Pedy, South Australia. An opal mining town, I spent my childhood there and much reflection on the film of "Being in Time" (above) is inspired by such place memories.
2.2.1(c) LATEST MUSIC VIDEO MASHUP
AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC MUSIC VIDEO MASHUPS: experimental AV montages of original video edited with found object media overlays and set to personal favorite song selections. Intended as an adjunct to diary films, evocative - exploring the aesthetic potential of autoethnography as once reflected in avant-garde work.
2.2.1(d) COVID-19 LOCKDOWN FILMS
2.2.1(e) LATEST 420 JOURNAL FILM
2.2.1(f) AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC SHORT FICTION
THE LOCKDOWN FILMS: a series of short films and experimental montages produced and/or post-produced during China's Covid-19 lockdown period. The films were originally intended for anthologizing and the final version of 14 films was a precursor to the final "Being in Time" concept (home) movie. Formally freer than many later works.
期刊中止?:420 个日志电影是对找到的镜头剪辑的随意组合,尝试抽象图像和基于文本的叙述。在这些电影中,我对效果的处理比最终作品的考虑要少,因此这些作品可能仍然是未完成的或需要更新的。出于档案兴趣而提出。
EXPERIMENTAL AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC SHORT FILMS:: experimental AV montages of original video edited with found object media overlays - similar style but exploring more aesthetic options at the edge of the ethnographer / auteur dialectic that affected Mekas, Brakhage, Anger and the avant-garde "home movie" aesthetic.
