从幕后走向台前:信息科学领域自我民族志研究回顾

From Backburner to the Forefront:Review of the Application of Autoethnography in the Information Science Field

[目的/意义]自我民族志是一种关注研究者自我主体性、自我意识和亲身体验的人类学方法,作为一种新的“唤起式”的写作实践,在信息科学研究中尚未得到广泛关注。[方法/过程]本研究从研究主题、运用方式、优越性及局限性等方面归纳了信息科学研究中运用自我民族志方法的研究。[结果/结论]自我民族志的优越性体现在研究视角、研究手段和研究发现呈现方面,其适用性程度取决于研究对象和研究问题的属性。

[Purpose/Significance]Autoethnography offers an anthropological approach to illuminating researchers'subjectivity,self-consciousness and personal experience.As a kind of"evocative"practice,it has not been paid attention in academic field of information science.[Method/Process]This study analyzes the application of autoethnography in the information science research in terms of research topics,forms,advantages and limitations.[Results/Conclusions]The superiority of self-ethnography is reflected in research perspectives,research methods,and the presentation of research findings,and its applicability depends on the nature of research subject and of the research question.
