ART-BASED RESEARCH METHOD “AUTOETHNOGRAPHY”

Abstract

In this article, art-based research approach and "autoetnography" method, a popular form of qualitative research, are examined. In autoetnography, the relationship of the person with culture is addressed in an expressive language. In the method that combines the personal and the social, the reflexive relationships between "essence" and "culture" are tried to be discovered. In the research, based on art-based research; the definition and historical development of autoethnography, its place in art-based research, its features, usage areas, autoethnographic approaches, types and descriptive information about the content of the method are included. In this sense, it is aimed to gain in-depth knowledge about the concept. For this purpose, the connection of autoethnography method, which is accepted as creative, didactic and non-fictional, with personal and culture has been tried to be revealed clearly. In addition, thanks to an etymological examination, it is explained how autoethnography a multidimensional research method is. What distinguishes this research method from the current literature is that, contrary to traditional research methods, "autoetnography" as a new research method has been handled as a more original methodology than the combination of science and art.

Keywords

SANAT TEMELLİ ARAŞTIRMA YÖNTEMİ “OTOETNOGRAFİ”

Öz

Bu makalede, sanat temelli araştırma yaklaşımı ve nitel araştırmanın popüler bir formu olan “otoetnografi” yöntemi incelenmektedir. Otoetnografi’de kişinin kültürle olan ilişkisi anlatımcı bir dille ele alınmaktadır. Kişisel ve toplumsal olanı kaynaştıran yöntemde “öz” ve “kültür” arasındaki dönüşlü ilişkiler keşfedilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Araştırmada, sanat temelli araştırmadan yola çıkılarak; otoetnografi’nin tanımı ve tarihsel gelişimi, sanat temelli araştırmadaki yeri, özellikleri, kullanım alanları, otoetnografik yaklaşımlar, türleri ve yöntemin içeriği hakkında tanımlayıcı bilgilere yer verilmiştir. Bu anlamda, kavram hakkında derinlemesine bilgi edinilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, yaratıcı, didaktik ve kurgusallık dışı olarak kabul edilen otoetnografi yönteminin kişisel ve kültürle olan bağlantısı açık bir şekilde ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca çalışmada etimolojik bir inceleme sayesinde, otoetnografi’nin nasıl çok boyutlu bir araştırma biçimi olduğu anlatılmaktadır. Söz konusu bu araştırma yöntemini mevcut literatürden ayıran şey ise geleneksel araştırma yöntemlerinin aksine, yeni bir araştırma yöntemi olarak “otoetnografi”nin bilim ve sanatın bir araya getirilmesinden daha özgün bir metodoloji olarak ele alınmış olmasıdır
