spartan form of reflexivity

is a brief, small, particle-like reflexivity in ethnography.

E. Valentine Daniel has written of the metaphor of interclusion in ethnography and the more 'spartan form of relexivity' that then becomes visible: 'I am thinking of the ultimate in intercluding marks, the hyphen. Reflexivity in ethnography can be brief, small, a particle in flight or a fleeting particular, a crepuscular detail... hyphen-like: holding together and holding apart, maintaining continuity and creating a breach, uniting and separating, estranging and binding, and most importantly, dividing but also compounding' (Ivy 1995 : 28)
