Ethnographic Narratives, Call for Manuscripts

Narratives sought for series:

AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC, LITERARY, POETIC, ARTISTIC, VISUAL, PERFORMATIVE, CRITICAL, MULTI-VOICED, CONVERSATIONAL, CO-CONSTRUCTED

Series Editors:Arthur P. Bochner and Carolyn Ellis (University of South Florida)

"Writing Lives: Ethnographic Narratives" publishes narrative representations of qualitative research projects. The series editors seek manuscripts that blur the boundaries between humanities and social sciences. We encourage novel and evocative forms of expressing concrete lived experience, including autoethnographic, literary, poetic, artistic, visual, performative, critical, multi-voiced, conversational, and co-constructed representations. We are interested in ethnographic narratives that depict local stories; employ literary modes of scene setting, dialogue, character development, and unfolding action; and include the author's critical reflections on the research and writing process, such as research ethics, alternative modes of inquiry and representation, reflexivity, and evocative storytelling.

Proposals and manuscripts should be directed to abochner@cas.usf.edu
