Abstract:
"The book examines narrative methods in the context of its multi-disciplinary social science origins, and looks at its theoretical underpinnings, while retaining an emphasis on the process of doing narrative research. Concrete, worked-through examples are also provided throughout, to help bridge the gap between theory and practice. 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." -- Book cover.
