Abstract

Bu çalışma özdüşünümsel bağlamda niteliksel araştırma yöntemi olarak kullanılan otoetnografik yaklaşımın fotoğraf ile ilişkisini Pia Arke’nin çalışmaları üzerinden incelemektedir. Otoetnografik yaklaşım, etnografik yazım geleneğinden gelen bir yazım performansı üzerine şekillense de, özellikle 1960’lar sanat ortamının ve temsil krizinin de etkisiyle sanatçıların bir etnograf gibi davranmaları, otoetnografinin temsil biçimlerinin de değişmesine yol açmıştır. Bu aşamada, yazınsal yöntemden görsel niteliksel yöntemlere geçiş, etnografik çalışmaların sanatsal çalışmalarla birlikte düşünülebileceğine dair bir eğilimi de beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu anlamda bu çalışma; otoetnografi ile fotoğrafın temsil, yöntem ve pratikte nasıl kesiştiğini; Pia Arke’nin fotoğrafı görsel araştırma yöntemi ve ifade biçimi olarak otoetnografik anlatımda nasıl kullandığını incelemek ve örneklemek üzerine şekillenmiştir.

ON PLACE AND METHOD OF PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC APPROACH: DOUBLE IDENTITY OF PIA ARKE

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between autoethnography used as a qualitative research methodology in self-reflexive context and photography, through the works of Pia Arke. Although the autoethnographic approach is based on the writing performance of the ethnographic writing tradition; the 1960s art scene, postcolonialism and the representation crisis caused artists to act as an ethnographer and it changed the forms of representation of autoetnography. At this stage, the transition from literary method to visual qualitative methods has brought with it a tendency that ethnographic studies can be considered together with artistic studies. In this sense, this study has been shaped to investigate and to illustrate how autoethnography and photography intersect in representation, method and practice; and how Pia Arke uses photography as a method of visual research and autoethnographic expression.
