Carolyn Ellis is the leading writer in the move toward personal, autobiographical writing as a strategy for academic research. In addition to her landmark books Final Negotiations and The Ethnographic I, she has authored numerous stories that demonstrate the emotional power and academic value of autoethnography. This volume collects a dozen of Ellis’s stories—about the loss of her husband, brother and mother; of growing up in small town Virginia; about the work of the ethnographer; about emotionally charged life issues such as abortion, caregiving, and love. Atop these captivating stories, she adds the component of meta-autoethography—a layering of new interpretations, reflections, and vignettes to her older work. An important new work for qualitative researchers and a student-friendly text for courses.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Revision is primarily a why-to-do autoethnography book rather than a how-to-do autoethnography manual. It is a testament to the importance and value of autoethnography as a qualitative research method. Ellis examines and re-examines her 'I' in ways that 'aren't easily addressed by orthodox social science.' This book is appropriate for beginner and veteran autoethnography researchers alike, as it showcases some of the finest autoethnographic works in print."
- The Qualitative Report
"Everyone who is interested in autoethnography and ethnography, autobiography and biography, in writing and the rhythm of life should read this book. You should read this book, and feel it, and then go back to work and live it."
- Leanne Pupcheck, Southern Communication Journal

Revision:Autoethnographic reflections on life and work,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Revision: Autoethnographic Reflections on Life and Work (Writing Lives) (Paperback)
I have enjoyed Carolyn Ellis' work for some years. This book is her very best. She goes much deeper into her personal feelings,but at he same time she is scholarly in a way that is easy to understand and use as a guideline. "Revision " is a book I can read almost like a novel and at the same time it teaches me so much about writing and understanding theoretical concepts. I am in the second half of my PhD studies using autoethnography as the methodology .Carolyn's writings have helped me to understand the complex world of story writing as a scholarly and academic activity.
Thank you Carolyn
