ABSTRACT
This chapter begins by considering the lists of criteria that scholars have offered for judging analytic, evocative, and performance autoethnographies. Next, the dangers of lists are outlined, and the process of braiding is suggested as an antidote. Attention is then given to the pedagogical potential of lists as cues for perception and starting points to help researchers better understand how judgments about autoethnography are made in ways that are messy, tentative, and deeply embodied.
