here's a few articles that inform some of my understanding of 
reflexivity,  
http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-e/inhalt3-02-e.htm  I 
identify more with bourdieu's  ideas on the subject more than others. I 
do think you have to be careful with confusing meta-discourse with 
reflexive discourse, and the difference between the two is the position 
and understanding of the subject to the discourse.  so, a 
meta-discourse would have externalization and perhaps some 
objectivization of the discourse in question by the subject, whereas 
reflexive discourse internalizes in relation to the discourse and 
subject, and as such does not and cannot purely objectify, but requires 
a feedback, a reflexivity between the subject and its discourse...  or 
at least that is how I'm describing it today.  meta... is after, or 
outside of, reflexive is not.
