ABSTRACT

This essay explores the theatrical roots of an oft-referenced but under-theorized instrument used in autoethnography: emotional recall, or affective memory. I define emotional recall, provide an overview of affective memory’s history in performance, and consider how the tool is modified when used in qualitative research. After distinguishing between more conventional forms of recollection and emotional recall, I offer specific strategies for practicing and accounting for affective memory in autoethnography. Trigger Warning: This article contains stories about child molestation, anti-gay violence, and domestic abuse.

回忆情感回忆：反思自我民族志中情感记忆的方法论意义

摘要

这篇文章探讨了在自我民族志中使用的一种经常被引用但理论化不足的工具的戏剧根源：情绪回忆或情感记忆。我定义了情绪回忆，概述了情感记忆在表演中的历史，并考虑了在定性研究中使用该工具时如何修改该工具。在区分更传统的回忆和情感回忆的形式之后，我提供了在自我民族志中练习和解释情感记忆的具体策略。触发警告：本文包含有关猥亵儿童、反同性恋暴力和家庭虐待的故事。
