Abstract

Temporality is central to how researchers conceptualize their research and to how they produce ethnography. Drawing from research on memory and commemoration in connection with The Body Politic, the first major lesbian and gay newspaper in Canada, this article examines the uses and limits of ethnographic writing as a mode of critique in contexts where the boundary between research participants and academic audiences can be unclear. The struggle over audience reveals some of the ethical limits and conventions of ethnography, both as method and genre, as well as the ways in which struggles over historical records inform the content and scope of ethnographic records.
