Product Description
Product Description
Examining narrative methods in the context of its multi-disciplinary social science origins, this text looks at its theoretical underpinnings, while retaining an emphasis on the process of doing narrative research. The authors provide a comprehensive guide to narrative methods, taking the reader from initial decisions about forms of narrative analysis, through more complex issues of reflexivity, interpretation and the research context.
The contributions included here clearly demonstrate the value of narrative methods for contemporary social research and practice. This book will be invaluable for all social science postgraduate students and researchers looking to use narrative methods in their own research.

Narrative research covers a very broad range of approaches, and when you are trying to get to grips with it all, lack of clarity about what the main parameters of this kind of research are can really lead you up blind alleys. This is an excellent set of papers by a wide range of authors about the principal issues that a researcher needs to hold in mind when undertaking narrative-based research. For instance, do you know the difference between 'big' and 'small' stories? Between 'event' and 'experience' centred research? Are you clear about theoretical differences between humanist and postmodern approaches to understandings of 'self' and how these differences impinge on views of agency and structure in the formation of narratives? Nor I, before reading this book!!
A very helpful and clear summary of the field - I would rate it highly for anyone doing narrative research.
