ABSTRACT

Accepting reality as multi-faceted, duoethnography questions the dominant scientific paradigm, thereby allowing a sharing of unique, subjective, and evocative stories that contribute to the understanding of the social world. As such, telling our narrative, through a storytelling approach modelled by a duoethnographic methodology, we share our own positioning, visibility, and performance while engaging as solo women travellers. Informed by feminist frameworks, we share and compare our lived experiences travelling alone trying to navigate and negotiate within a system positioned for men. Furthermore, on our respective journeys, we wrestle with our own position as feminists and what feelings of anger, guilt, and frustration reveal about ourselves. Our hope is to generate a deeper dialogue around the construction of a feminist identity, reflecting on how one could or should feel while travelling alone as a woman.

摘要

双民族志接受现实是多方面的，对占主导地位的科学范式提出质疑，从而允许分享独特的、主观的和令人回味的故事，从而有助于理解社会世界。因此，通过以双民族志方法为模型的讲故事方法来讲述我们的故事，我们分享自己的定位、知名度和表现，同时作为单身女性旅行者参与其中。在女权主义框架的指导下，我们分享和比较我们独自旅行的生活经历，试图在一个为男性定位的系统中导航和谈判。此外，在我们各自的旅程中，我们都在与自己作为女权主义者的立场以及愤怒、内疚和沮丧所揭示的自我感受进行斗争。我们希望围绕女权主义身份的构建展开更深入的对话，作为一名女性独自旅行时可以或应该感受到的。
