Abstract: This reflective article explores the intersection of intellectual production, displacement, and resilience during crises, with Lebanon's ongoing conflict as a backdrop. Building on Bartlett and Vavrus's comparative case study methodology, it proposes autoethnography as a reflexive fourth axis to deepen the framework's capacity for addressing crises. Through personal narratives and scholarly inquiry, it examines how displacement shapes intellectual labor and methodological innovation, offering insights for development, education, and research in precarious contexts.
