The pluriversal nature of our world(s) problematizes the methodologies we use in our practice. We need methodologies which enable these various worlds to be explored and engaged with in a meaningful and respectful manner. Autoethnographic methodological approaches provide one such way to work through and within these worlds – particularly for those of us who dwell in these multiple worlds. These approaches, however, raise further intriguing practical and theoretical questions. This paper explores these ideas through a case study of a computing project with my hapū (clan) in New Zealand and in doing so problematizes the very notion of the self as generally utilized in autoethnographic work.
