ABSTRACT

This paper provides a survey of healing wells as a background to help understand a personal narrative using autoethnology, self-reflection in personal experience to relate my own personal experiences of a number of visits to the clooty well at Munlochy, Ross-shire, in 2016 to deal with illness. Autoethnology connects an autobiographical story to a wider ethnological context. It assesses a researcher’s values and motivations in pursuing rigour in judgement and decisions. It has not previously been applied as a methodology used to study the Munlochy clooty well in any detail. By including a personal narrative as an element of the study, the paper offers an unusal perspective on the use and role of that well. The autoethnological approach attempts to retain a distance in the examination of personal healing experiences at the well.

摘要

本文提供了对康复井的调查作为背景，以帮助您了解使用自我人种学的个人叙述，自我反思的个人经历，以结合我自己在2016年对罗斯郡郡芒洛奇进行的多次采油井的亲身经历处理疾病。自我民族学将自传故事与更广泛的民族学背景联系起来。它评估研究人员在严谨的判断和决策中的价值观和动机。以前尚未将其作为用于详细研究Munlochy血统的方法。通过将个人叙述作为研究的内容，本文提供了关于该井的用途和作用的不寻常观点。自我人种学方法试图在检查井的个人愈合经验时保持一定距离。
