We provide an overview of the methods used and discuss each step of the research process, followed by insights gained in applying them toward the research aims. A core benefit of this approach is the safe space and iterative process it enabled for sharing and probing experiences, and the catalytic discursive data and analysis it yielded among the group in their triple role as researchers, peers, and survivors.","PeriodicalId":170180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Autoethnography","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114629576","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}

In 2006, I went to Caithness in the far north of Scotland to be “writer-in-residence” and stayed five years. My task was to write poetry in response to the landscape, a task that took me deep into exploring myself as a writer, and awakened in me questions of home, family, and my relationship to nature. Unbeknownst to me I had arrived in the land of my ancestors, also a land scarred with loss, poverty, and clearance. But alongside the scars and ruined crofts were small and huge wonders, of nature, wildlife, cairns, standing stones, people, seals, and the rugged coastline.

It is here argued that The Confessions is an example of autobiography and The Reveries is an example of memoirs. In contrast to these two works, in form and style the Dialogues have hitherto been thought of as one of a kind, an unparalleled anomaly. In this essay, it will be argued that the Dialogues are an early example of autoethnography. It will be shown how the concept of autoethnography may help us to better appreciate and contextualize this neglected and original work. Furthermore, armed with this knowledge, we might avoid repeating some of Rousseau’s mistakes.","PeriodicalId":170180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Autoethnography","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124229605","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}
