This paper lays out advantages and disadvantages of the practical use of analytic autoethnorgaphy (Leon Anderson 2006) in qualitative research focused on professional careers of artists in art world (Howard Becker 1982), namely that of classical music. The research concerned the problem of networking and culturally conditioned interactions between Japanese and Polish artists involved in international artistic projects. While observing the process of cooperation between the abovementioned groups of artists, the researcher played the role of translator and so-called intercultural mediator, and as such became a member of their artistic reality (In-Complete Member Researcher). This fact justified the application of autoethnographic paradigm – though in an altered form – to the research and thus, enabled the author to better understand the process of social construction of intercultural interactions. Furthermore, by presenting the results of autoethnographic analysis, the author is also trying to show how this method serves as a tool which enhances validity and reliability of data collected through a foreign language (here: Japanese).
