Autoethnography III;

Autoethnography III; Assignment Overview: Over the course of this semester, you have been observing and reflecting on questions of cultural belonging and identity by first describing your own experiences of cultural and/or ethnic belonging or difference and then interviewing others in order to compare and/or contrast your own experiences and beliefs with those of others in your cultural group. In this final autoethnographic essay, you will expand your understanding of your chosen culture, ethnic group, and/or community by researching an historical event that has impacted that group’s identity or sense of belonging. Assignment Details: The Essay: The challenge of this essay will be synthesizing the research you’ve conducted while also positioning yourself and your experiences within the broader context of your selected cultural, ethnic, or community group. Consider beginning the essay with a narrative from your own life and experiences OR those of your interviewees (from autoethnography 2) as a way of framing the historical events you will then also narrate. After describing (narrating) the historical events, indicate their significance, relevance, and/or impact on the community, taking into consideration the issues of collective memory, the archive, and the repertoire. If you have time, you might also consider: how your experience or those of your interviewees sheds new light on the history as you’ve encountered it in your research; how your research sheds new light on your or your interviewees’ understandings of your culture/group; what you can do to educate others about this history.
