This layered account uses personal experience to expand understanding of communicatively managing courtesy stigma, which remains a curiously understudied phenomenon in the communication discipline. Specifically, the author draws on courtesy stigma, closeting theory, stigma management communication, and communication privacy management to help interpret and make meaning out of experiences related to parental alcohol abuse. The vignettes provide an alternative understanding of stigma management and disclosure processes.

Drawing on evocative autoethnographic accounts of cruising for sex in public, this article examines the cruising subculture within gay culture as a voluntary risk-taking leisure activity and thereby a form of edgework. Moreover, this article seeks to push the theoretical conceptualization of edgework beyond the gendered interpretations associated with the theory by using queer theory to re-examine the order/chaos binary along the heterosexual/homosexual edge of sexual identity. By queering edgework, cruising becomes a voluntary risk-taking leisure activity that both shatters and reifies sexual identity along this heterosexual/homosexual edge.

This article explores the nuances of applying Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to autoethnography. The authors argue that ANT-informed autoethnography may broaden the understanding of how social and material networks are interrelated and can influence research. Two divergent autoethnographic vignettes are analyzed to illustrate how ANT-informed autoethnography may differ from other forms of autoethnography. ANT-informed autoethnography may be helpful when researchers wish to understand better the diverse political, social, and economic interactions and knowledge among actors and then offer insight into how these engagements affect our lifeworlds. The paper concludes with implications and recommendations for autoethnographers who utilize ANT in their research.
本文探讨了将行为网络理论（ANT）应用于自述学的细微差别。作者认为，以行动者-网络理论为基础的自述民族志可以拓宽人们对社会和物质网络如何相互关联并影响研究的理解。作者分析了两个不同的自述小故事，以说明以 ANT 为基础的自述与其他形式的自述有何不同。当研究人员希望更好地了解参与者之间不同的政治、社会和经济互动与知识，并深入了解这些互动如何影响我们的生活世界时，以 ANT 为基础的自述民族志可能会有所帮助。本文最后提出了对在研究中使用 ANT 的自述者的启示和建议。

The author unexpectedly gets her period when she is visiting the Museum of the City of New York and uses the incident to explore how women’s desire to be free is thwarted when period products are not available in public restrooms. The author touches upon several aspects of menstrual equity—period stigma, outdated and empty dispensers, tampon tax, menstruating while homeless or incarcerated, and trans bodies that menstruate. Building on Judy Grahn’s idea that all culture is a result of women’s menstrual rites, the author points out the absurdity of not accommodating menstruating bodies in high-culture spaces like museums and asks for modern vending machines for period products in public restrooms.

Navigating complicated relationships with his religious upbringing and his faith-zealous father, the author of this critical autoethnography explores experiences of identity loss and reformation, sexual abuse, and shame. Raised as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—also known as Mormonism—the author reflects on how his own crisis of faith, and the moments of silence where answers never came, influenced his views on meaningful relationships, self-worth, and sexuality. The author ends the piece by discussing how autoethnography not only gives individuals a chance to share their stories but also creates a community where they need not navigate trauma, loss, and heartache alone.

Space, and embodied movement through it, produces place meanings and senses of belonging as individual and environment act upon each other. This co-constitution, however, remains changeable over time with each new or repeated experience. Following an autoethnographic walk around an Italian city, this article charts how passage through and between different parts of the city can evoke often consistent yet sometimes challenging understandings of place and one’s position within it. In so doing, six “zones” of belonging are identified, each accompanied by various thoughts, feelings, and memories as they are navigated on foot. The importance of passage through place in building a knowledge of both place and self is therefore highlighted. Facilitated by reflections upon visual materials collected during the walk, this knowledge and associated feelings are shown to be changeable across neighboring spaces. Moreover, such change is experienceable even within the same space over time as previously hidden yet nonetheless existing entities become visible to the individual for the first or successive times. This tension between absence and presence may thereby result in disruptive shocks and fragility that alter everyday place interactions and belongingness. This can include decisions around how once familiar spaces are subsequently navigated or subject to recollection on the basis of shifting knowledges and expectations that result.

This autoethnographic place-based essay explores the ecological space the author grew up in the desert state of Gujarat, in western India.1 Simultaneously, it is also an exploration of the inner journey of discovery, joy, and belonging that a child enacts in discovering the outdoors, his /her/their Duniya,2 or to put it more formally, comes into an environmental consciousness. The essay is a contribution to autoethnographic scholarship in the evocative tradition, focused on the role of memory.3 Written in nonlinear story segments, the narrative mirrors the ways in which memories surface—fragmented, disconnected, nebulous but also (on occasion) brilliantly clear and saturated with the sensorial world in which they originate. End notes identify key readings from the fields of autoethnography,4 cultural anthropology,5 memoir writing,6 narrative nonfiction,7 and environmental studies8 that influenced the form, scope and intent of the stories.
