Hi Kip, i'm a huge fan of your research . . . .and involved with autoethnographic inquiry as performative writing. I recently submitted a performative autoethnographic article to FQS special issue , "participatory qualitative research" the feedback suggests that I include "more theoretical and methodological development. There seems no meta processing of the text, " does this not contradict performative aspect? any advice would be greatly appreciated as i believe you are the leading authority in this area Karen -- Karen V.
