Synopsis

Written by an international team of experts in the field, the second edition of this popular text considers both the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of narrative research. The authors take the reader from initial decisions about forms of narrative research, through more complex issues of reflexivity, interpretation and the research context. Existing chapters have been updated to reflect changes in the literature and new chapters from eminent narrative scholars in Europe, Australia and the United States have been added on a variety of topics including narratives and embodiment, visual narratives, narratives and storyworlds, new media narratives and Deleuzian perspectives in narrative research. 

This book will be invaluable for all students, researchers and academics looking to use narrative methods in their own social research.

About this title

Review

Written by an international and interdisciplinary team of experts in the field of narrative research, the anthology demonstrates theoretical, methodological and practical issues of narrative research. This volume can be an invaluable resource for understanding what is narrative research, how we do this and what narrative does to our lives. (Rumana Hashem DIEGESIS)

Doing Narrative Research is a wonderful introduction for anyone not familiar with the current interests of a broad range of social scientists and fieldworkers or the methodological and theoretical foundations at the heart of those interests. To undertake seriously the kinds of theoretical introspection urged here would, I am sure, expand the horizons of oral history analysis and enrich our understanding of what it is we do. (Ronald Grele, Columbia University)
