The majority of research method courses preach about the importance of the researcher being objective, unemotional, and completely divorced from their subjects. However, I’m proposing a different epistemological view with this study exploring first-hand the film-tourism industry of Breaking Bad in Albuquerque, New Mexico. For this study, I investigated, from a visual auto-ethnography approach informed by feminist theory, the Breaking Bad television/film-tourism industry phenomenon in Albuquerque, NM. Using a visual auto-ethnography methodology, I expressed my emotional experiences as a female participant observer with Breaking Bad’s film tourism landscape in NM. Additionally, I shared my story and experiences of being a film-tourist through social media outlets. Using a visual auto-ethnography and feminist theory framework, I explored the following research questions: R1: In what ways does being a female fanatic film-tourist of Breaking Bad affect the tourist pilgrimage to Albuquerque, New Mexico? R2: What emotional and sensory components are connected when the Breaking Bad tourist experiences hedonist acts that mimic fictional characters and landscapes? This study took place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, June 20–22, 2016. I participated in two Breaking Bad Film Tours (RV tour and biking tour) as a tourist. I used the social media application, Snap Chat, to document my lived experiences with the tours. I created a film with my personal video diaries and snap chats to document my lived experiences. The footage captured showcases the environment of the two tours and my lived experiences of being a female film-tourist. This study is informed by an ethnography and feminist theory framework. Goodall (2000) argues for a more feminine communication style in academia by emphasizing rapportbuilding through listening and observing (for example, reflecting, personally, about meanings) rather than problem solving. This methodological approach allowed me to report my findings in creative expressions. For this study, I addressed my personal, emotional relationship with filmtourism as an “emotional sociology” framework (Goodall, 2000, p. 59). The video and presentation shared will showcase the different perspectives of film tourism from a feminist framework and my pilgrimage of traveling as a solo female tourist. 1 Benjamin: Breaking Benjamin: A Woman’s Pilgrimage to New Mexico Published by Digital Commons @ TRU Library, 2017
大多数研究方法课程都宣扬研究者客观、不情绪化、完全脱离研究对象的重要性。然而,我提出了一种不同的认识论观点,这项研究探索了新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基的《绝命毒师》电影旅游业的第一手资料。在这项研究中,我从一种基于女权主义理论的视觉自动人种学方法,调查了新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基的《绝命毒师》电视/电影旅游业现象。使用视觉自动人种学方法,我表达了我作为女性参与者观察者在NM的《绝命毒师》电影旅游景观中的情感体验。此外,我还通过社交媒体分享了我作为电影游客的故事和经历。运用视觉自动人种学和女性主义理论框架,我探索了以下研究问题:R1:作为《绝命毒师》的女性狂热电影游客,在哪些方面影响了新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基的游客朝圣之旅?R2:当《绝命毒师》的游客体验到模仿虚构人物和风景的享乐主义行为时,他们的情感和感官成分是什么?该研究于2016年6月20日至22日在新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基进行。我以游客的身份参加了两次《绝命毒师》电影之旅(房车之旅和自行车之旅)。我用社交媒体应用程序Snap Chat记录了我在旅行中的亲身经历。我用我的个人视频日记和快照聊天记录了一部电影,记录了我的生活经历。拍摄的镜头展示了两次旅行的环境和我作为一名女性电影游客的生活经历。本研究以民族志和女性主义理论框架为基础。Goodall(2000)主张在学术界建立一种更加女性化的沟通方式,强调通过倾听和观察(例如,亲自反思意义)而不是解决问题来建立关系。这种方法论方法使我能够以创造性的表达方式报告我的发现。在这项研究中,我将我个人与电影旅游的情感关系作为“情感社会学”框架(Goodall, 2000, p. 59)。分享的影片和简报将从女权主义的角度,展示电影旅游的不同视角,以及我作为女性独自旅行的朝圣之旅。1本杰明:打破本杰明:一个女人的新墨西哥朝圣之旅,由数字共享@ TRU图书馆出版,2017年
