ABSTRACT
Drawing from the work of Bakhtin (1981), duoethnographers structure dialogic situations to promote imagination and multiple perspectives. Although these dialogues are almost always between at least two researchers working together, they are also between the researcher and additional texts, such as cultural artifacts. These texts promote inquirers’ interactions among their currere (e.g., their analysis and reconceptualization of personal histories and interpersonal relationships) within their cultural worlds. Examining themselves as the site of their inquiry, they focus on how the cultural tools and symbols that populate their lives mediate their experiences. This process ideally promotes the agency of inquirers within their cultural worlds.
