Preferred term

performance ethnography  

Definition

  • Performance ethnography is a melding of ethnographic and auto-ethnographic practices (the immersion in another culture for purposes of describing that culture and the treatment of one's own story as an expression of a culture) with postmodern performance theory. For curriculum studies, performance ethnography offers a specific orientation toward doing curriculum research on both curriculum artifacts and curriculum practices (designing, developing, etc.) in which the researcher is profoundly implicated in the “outcomes” of the research.
