Trailing spouse describes a person who moves abroad to support his or her spouse’s career. This term conjures an experience defined by a lack of agency and often intense identity struggle and can foreshadow some of the challenges trailing spouses face upon arrival in their new country. The author critically calls her identity, privilege, and gender roles into question as she navigates what it means to be a new mother, wife, academic, and expat in the role of trailing spouse. She exposes the invisible work of reorienting her identity to the new culture and roles, something she was too overwhelmed to do while living abroad. By examining how the role of trailing spouse is conceptualized and lived, it becomes clear that supporting spouses in an international move must make space for identity struggle instead of consistency or coherence. This piece argues that trailing spouses need to find space to embrace the identity struggle, in a world that values identity coherence.","PeriodicalId":170180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Autoethnography","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132604507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When diasporics with varying professional competencies and cultural backgrounds endeavor to become embedded in new settings, their everyday engagement with new contexts calls for both cultural and professional re-initiation. This dual re-initiation may occasion resettlement struggles for these in-transition individuals because some previously ascribed symbols of personal and professional selves enter an involute play. The translation of these struggles could form liminal spaces of professional and cultural in-betweenness. As a diasporic re-settler, I (Kanwarjeet) walk through many doors each day. In this autoethnography, I utilize the metaphors of “storytelling,” “walking,” and “doors” to consider the intricacies of the journey a diasporic self makes, peregrinating through professional and cultural hyphens, concomitantly. I invite my readers to co-tread, walking the story that I tell.","PeriodicalId":170180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Autoethnography","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129474559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though research focusing on narcissism is extensive, there is a distinct lack of research into the abusive behaviors individuals with severe narcissistic traits use against others and subsequent victim experiences. With the aim of raising awareness of this form of abuse, the following evocative account utilizes autoethnographic memory work and portrays personal experiences of narcissistic abuse—specifically, gaslighting behavior, pathological dishonesty, and intimate abuse. The autoethnographic methods of this article are aligned with social justice and feminist epistemologies. Suppositions are offered to the reader centered upon trauma, loss, and healing in the context of the author’s personal experiences and inherent values as a mental health nurse and educator. Key reflections regarding the use of memory as method along with procedural, relational, and ethical considerations determine how the autoethnography and its portrayal may have been shaped.","PeriodicalId":170180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Autoethnography","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127461919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several voices engage together from the loci of embodied, relational, and textual standpoints. Tacitly informed by the voices of friends, colleagues, and respected others, the first and second authors have a conversation with and between themselves, and with readers. This is conducted around the presence of a boxed-text voice, written more formally and rhetorically by the first author. The main story is the authors’ critical reaction to selected aspects of the “Tolichist” voice. This voice is regarded as promoting epistemic violence toward critical and creative analytical autoethnographers, in the areas of relational ethics and methodology. The other related—back, subsidiary, and implicit—stories emerging include alienation from the insidious cultural backdrop of patriarchy and misogyny; two conceptions of “autonomy”; the development of a neophyte critical autoethnographer; colonization and resistance; the bifurcation of assumptions about autoethnographic writing; and the importance of philosophy for autoethnographic scholarship.

In the Sufi tradition, knowing the “nafs” (the self) is as a vital part of a Muslim’s spiritual growth.

Here I draw attention to the fact that the understanding of how these and other positional characteristics matter is pre-determined by the theoretical positionality that we forget about. To show that theorizing is to take a position (on positionality), I present a new “dialogic autoethnography” of the two years I spent online dating. In this dialogic autoethnographic approach, I tell the story and then engage in a dialogue with a series of composite theoretical “others” each of which has a different take on the story. These others include a socio-biologist, a sexual fielder, an intersectionalist, and a loving relater. In so doing, I proffer a broadened conceptualization of positionality and its relationship to both story and theory. Theorizing affects how we understand positionality within a story. Theorizing is positionality.","PeriodicalId":170180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Autoethnography","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123090994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
