ABSTRACT

Denzin confront knowledge and experience, he try to build on his idea that hermeneutics is the work of interpretation and understanding. In some ways, he see his work as an effort to resist the process of assimilation. He says it is the place where the doing and the done collide. His work is an effort to relate the problematic of scholarship production, knowledge, experience, the essence of what is to be a scholar, to the tasks of persistence and survival. His 'scholarship'or whatever name it might have within its framework does not move from one place to another, from him to the others, or from critical ethnography to performance autoethnography. He follow Butler's analysis as a possibility of another way to get recognition, developing a "critical relation" with these norms, trying to defer the need for them, even if he need norms that let me be human, let him live.
