Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes the manner in which sociology of emotions may take advantage of autoethnography. The author analyses the cultural context of the methodological success of this perspective in the recent years as well as its methodological, cognitive and social limits. Using a selection of examples, the author points out possible areas in which autoethnography might be useful in the sociological research of emotions. The author also considers the theoretical conditions for application of this method in scientific sociological projects.
