<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>When research is so connected to personal interest</strong>, experience, and familiarity that objectivity becomes a moveable feast, the line between documentation and invention blurs to near-invisibility. <strong>John Freeman </strong>asks what it means to locate oneself into research findings and narrative reports, and what happens when one's self goes further and becomes the research. Subjecting received truths to a series of hard questions, readers are taken on a journey through self-performance; traumatic memoir; the lure of weasel words; emotional evocation; the vagaries of memory; creative nonfiction; cultural appropriation; illusion masquerading as truth and the complex ethics of university research.<strong> Case studies </strong>from international auto-ethnographers run through the book and appendices provide invaluable advice to university researchers and supervisors. The result is a work that sheds new light on forms of narrative research that connect writers' personal stories to the participatory cultures under investigation.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>John Freeman</b> is the head of theater at Falmouth University and an adjunct associate professor at Curtin University, Western Australia. He is author of <i>Tracing the Footprints</i>; <i>New Performance/New Writing</i>; <i>Blood, Sweat & Theory</i>; and <i>The Greatest Shows on Earth</i>, and has written extensively on theater, art, pedagogy, and contemporary performance.
