Tóm tắt

An essential point when considering the relationship between cultural psychology and autoethnography is the way dynamic experiences, which change with time, persons, and contexts can be transformed into the universal ways in which they are organized. This paper considered how we can do so using Valsiner’s work and cultural developmental autoethnography. Previous studies have not paid sufficient attention to dealing with the developmental aspects of autoethnography. In order to deepen the aspect of “culture” in autoethnography, it is necessary to understand a person’s life as it is developing while constructing and using one’s “own” culture to the contingent future. The important point here is to understand the minimal moment from the perspective of a person on the trajectory, while simultaneously examining the dimensions of the self that develop with culture, while being systemically connected to others. Such a research process requires an awareness of the duality of the self as one system (the dialogical self), while simultaneously being a part of a more macro-system. Autoethnographic trajectory equifinality modeling is a process of modeling this duality and can be one approach to cultural developmental autoethnography that has the transferability of specific moments into universal knowledge through relationships with others.
