Narrative Analysis: Qualitative Research Methods, cartea 30

Autor Catherine Kohler Riessman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 oct 1993
Catherine Reissman shows how the method of narrative analysis is more systematic and useful to fieldworkers than has been previously thought. The `why' of fieldwork followed by the `how' demonstrates the logic of narrative analysis. Amongst the many questions answered by this detailed introduction are:
{ why are stories constructed as they are?
{ how does one dissect a narrative to understand the lived experience of the narrator?
{ what steps can the researcher take to translate these tales and life stories into usable research?
A particularly valuable aspect of Narrative Analysis is its contribution to the study of women's life situations and health concerns, which are used to exemplify this method.

Recenzii

"This exposition of the principles of narrative analysis is a crisp and thankfully accessible introduction to a range of more or less formal techniques for the interpretation of first-person oral narratives...Riessman organizes her discussion in a down-to-earth way..."
"Her concise and well-organized book, Narrative Analysis, contributes important insights to the qualitative methods literature. It is directed toward scholars and graduate students of various disciplines, as a methodological guide for analyzing transcripts of first-person stories or experiences. The book is also relevant for researchers interested in the substantive areas of women's lives and medical sociology...Riessman's book provides a useful guide for marketing researchers; particularly those aligned with the interpretive camp...because marketing researchers are increasingly interested in studying both consumers' and managers' stories...Narrative Analysis should be useful to an even wider audience."   
"Catherine Kohler Riessman's handbook not only provides a basic introduction to the social scientist using narrative as a tool, but also offers a strand of feminist research as her central example...It is a useful text to include in course offerings on discourse analysis."  
"The book offers communication researchers some of the best recent work on qualitative inquiry in the human disciplines...Published by SAGE, the leading publisher of qualitative research in the social sciences today...The heart of her tightly argued text turns on forms of narrative (linked stories, conversations, life stories) and their analysis...This work should be read against and alongside Atkinson and Silverman...This work brings the communication scholar up-to-date on where qualitative methods are in current sociological and educational discourse."
"[This book] does what it intends to do and does that clearly and with lively and interesting examples. I think both students and teachers will find it compelling and useful. I plan to assign it in my seminar on narrative and description next semester."  
"In this text, Catherine Kohler Riessman discusses many of the important questions that face narrative scholars. As such, the book is a good introductory text for narrative methodology. For those who have read within the field previously, this work reminds the reader of some of the important questions that need to be addressed in narrative work...This text is a valuable effort in an attempt to synthesize some of the main aspects of narrative methodology."  
"An excellent resource for individuals interested in the systematic use of narrative in social science research."
