Narratives in Action: A Strategy for Research and Analysis

Couverture
Teachers College Press, 2001 - 183 pages
Narrative discourse -- in therapy, or with a friend -- can construct or transform the narrator's self. With his sophisticated theoretical and methodological approach, the author provides:

-- A systematic account of how narrative self-construction works.

-- A dialogic account of self-construction that focuses on the social, cultural, and relational contexts of storytelling.

-- Step-by-step guidance on how to uncover and document meaningful patterns in transcribed narrative data.
