Within this learning experience I was a participant involved simultaneously in observing my participation. My aim is to explore the emotional life of 'an academic going back to school'. In the first part of this paper I will present my background and the TTC context and then I will describe autoethnography as a research method. In the second part I will consider some autoethnographic vignettes written during the course; I use a reflexive narrative to comment on my emotional and learning experience. At the end I focus on my emotional narratives, my learning during the TTC and on the connection between learning and emotions.","PeriodicalId":177585,"journal":{"name":"Creative Approaches To Research","volume":"7 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":"120969540","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}

It describes the background to the project and the methodology used. It explores some of the difficulties experienced in the project and the lessons learnt by the research team.

In 1976 I heard Cajun music for the first time. I didn't know where it came from, who the Cajuns were, or what their history was. I just heard their music and thought that I would like to play music like that. It came out of nowhere, felt right, and I wanted to be swept up by it. Over the last twenty years I have taken elements of traditional music repertoire and performance techniques and attempted to create an Australian-Cajun hybrid style of music. My professional work has involved 'claiming' aspects of other peoples' cultural heritage and I am currently exploring this in a Master of Arts by project at RMIT University. In my research project I am presenting and performing a folio of Cajun-style compositions, as well as an exegesis examining the historical and social processes associated with introducing Cajun music from the US into Australia.","PeriodicalId":177585,"journal":{"name":"Creative Approaches To Research","volume":"33 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":"114279649","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}

I contend that auto/ethnography is too mired in negative and depressing lived experiences, such as death, disease, cruelty, and health problems. If auto/ethnography is meant to be therapeutic, the best medicine is often laughter. The essay calls for using stand-up comedy methods when performing ethnographic texts. Indeed, many comedians are already engaging in auto/ethnography, they simply do not know it or give it that label. Examples of humorous performance texts are interwoven with theory, method, and discussion about the auto/ethnographer's moral responsibilities and ethics.","PeriodicalId":177585,"journal":{"name":"Creative Approaches To Research","volume":"11 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":"130969210","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}
