About - "In Music and in Life - Confronting the Self Through Autoethnography" by Collin Webber

Responde

It is very interesting how the author create a false identity to tell a story of a young boy who want to become a musician but his parents do not accept. I think, it is a way to protect his own identity. However, it is quite difficult to know if this relationship between Colin Webber and Wang Yuyan is true or just fiction. It is not specified on the chapter. Only on the Epilogue, the author gave a clue that probably he is just creating a false character.

Auto-ethnography is an approach to research and writing that seeks to describe and systematically analyse personal experience in order to understand cultural experience.

On the first paragraph, the autor says ‘the problem with auto-ethnography is that everyone ends up knowing your secrets.’ For that reason, I believe that the autor created a false identity to describes his own story.
