However, the form of the essay goes beyond the qualitative framework of traditional ethnographic research. In regard to autoethnographicexperience, the initial goal of making an ethnography of neoliberalism was achieved though actions and strategies that in themselves could be described as neoliberal (that is, conducted in terms of the imperative of self-concern and thinking in categories of potential gains and losses).
