WTF is Autoethnography

     This article was difficult to dive into at first. It used a lot of hard to understand vocabulary and kind of rambled on a bit. However, with focus, it started to become clearer. Ethnography is the focus and observation of others to understand a group's culture. Autoethnography is a self-reflection in which the artist focuses on themselves to connect their personal experiences to the culture and society around them. The author goes into detail about a few artists and expands upon ways that these individual artists have achieved autoethnographic film. Autoethnography can be accomplished in multiple ways but in the end they are all self-reflecting upon their own lives.
