Caught With a Fake ID

Ethical Questions About Slippage in Autoethnography

Kristina Medford

Bowling Green State University, Ohio

Autoethnographers strive to present truthful accounts, the essence of their experience, rather than the Truth or an objective account. There is mindful slippage between Truth and truthful. The author reflects on the emotional consequences of getting "lost" in the slippage of a former partner’s autoethno-graphic writing and contemplates the ethical questions that should be confronted about slippage when making decisions about what to leave in and/or what to leave out. An ethic of accountability for autoethnographic writing is outlined.

Key Words: autoethnography • ethics • fake ID
