Abstract

In this paper, I use an autoethnographic sketch (Rambo, 2007) to offer a definition of trauma. This paper is broadly inspired by my research (Gloviczki, 2015) using case study methods (Yin, 2003) about online memorial groups. In pairing autoethnography and case study methods, I write to inspire a discussion about form, definition, and trauma. I also embrace the challenge of writing an entire scholarly paper within 140 characters, the standard length of a tweet on Twitter. I hope this approach opens fresh avenues for understanding research as well.
