Rezensionen

"Each scholar in this volume edited by Alec Grant offers a beautifully crafted provocation, a disturbance, a disorientation, a tilting of perspective that challenges autoethnographers to take seriously and engage with the philosophical dimensions of their work from conception to completion. For sure, this is no easy task, but it is essential if autoethnography is to avoid complacency and continue to grow and flourish as a dynamic genre of inquiry in the future. There is so much on offer in the pages of Writing Philosophical Autoethnography for both novice and experienced autoethnographer alike. It is a gift of kindness that should be gratefully accepted and cared for by anybody fortunate enough to read it." -- Professor Andrew Sparkes, Leeds Beckett University, UK







"The present day confronts us with so many complex ethical, political, and spiritual questions, and it is the challenge of today's writer to chart both the inner world and the other world, and the space between. In Writing Philosophical Autoethnography, Grant has given the contemporary writer a toolkit for developing their art. It offers a deep investigation into what our setting does to our thoughts and feelings and what our thoughts and feelings do to our setting. It charts continents, the soul and literature from around the globe, and marshals them into one compelling thesis. A feat." -- Andy West, author of The Life Inside: A Memoir of Prison, Family and Philosophy
