Book Description
"This qualitative study aims to describe and understand the cultural identity of those in the Royal Canadian Navy. In this inquiry I use the autoethnography as a methodology, and in-depth interviews with members of the Royal Canadian Navy to understand the meaning of navy culture and its implications on the daily lives of its members. My analysis is shaped by the works of Hall (1996, 2000), Ellis & Bochner (2002), and Barker (2000). The participants answered a series of questions in an attempt to better understand what they perceived to be the most salient aspects of Royal Canadian Navy culture. They also expressed their thoughts on how the Royal Canadian Navy has shaped their identities and whether being a member of the Royal Canadian Navy has instilled a sense of belonging and recognition in their lives. My autoethnography recounts my experiences with the Royal Canadian Navy and how I interpreted its culture. I conclude with the implications the findings may have for future studies into Royal Canadian Navy culture such as gender issues and alcoholism." --
