My project
Across the world, people know Brazil as "the country of soccer". Most do not know how much soccer actually influences and shapes Brazil's society, culture, and even politics. I have created an autoethnography through this website which is meant to allow readers to learn more about this fascinating sport and how it has affected my life and my country. After reading my website, I encourage my readers to ask themselves more about the history of their country and how this has shaped their lives.
As I briefly mentioned in my home page, an autoethnography is a writing and research approach that critically analyzes personal experiences with the goal of providing more understanding of cultural and social practices and values. In a way, an autoethnography is a combination of an ethnography and an autobiography. If you want to read more about autoethnographies, take a look at Carolyn Ellis' article.
