Narrative Methods for the Human Sciences
Autor Catherine Kohler Riessmanen Limba Engleză Electronic book text – 12 mar 2014
Catherine Kohler Riessman provides a lively overview of qualitative research based on interpreting stories. Designed to improve research practice, it provides detailed discussions of four analytic methods: thematic analysis, structural analysis, dialogic/performance analysis, and visual narrative analysis.
Broad in scope, Narrative Methods for the Human Sciences offers concrete guidance for students and established scholars wanting to join the "narrative turn" in social research.
Key Features
"Offers guidance for interviewing and transcription: The author discusses the move from spoken language to written transcript. In the process, she encourages students to be mindful of the texts they construct from dialogues in an interview study.
"Includes visual approaches to data gathering: Riessman takes narrative research beyond its historic reliance on word-based materials. She discusses exemplary research that integrates images-both those made during the research process and others found in archives.
"Presents arguments about validation in case-based research: The book presents several ways to think about credibility in narrative studies, contextualizing validity in relation to epistemology and theoretical orientation of a study.
Intended Audience
This text is designed as a supplement to qualitative research courses taught in graduate departments across the social and behavioral sciences, and as a core book in narrative research courses. It is also useful for academics wanting to learn more about narrative methods.

Narrative
Methods
for
the
Human
Sciencesprovides
an
accessible
framework
for
researchers
—
to
analyse
narrative
texts
with
confidence,
empathy,
and
humility.
"Narrative Methods for the Human Sciencesis a well-written, profoundly useful guide to four of the main narrative methods: (a) oral narratives derived from interviews; (b) narratives derived from archival materials such as diaries, letters, and other documents; (c) ethnographic observations as compiled from field notes; and (d) visual media (in combination with text or not) such as videotaped interactions, paintings, and photographs. Not only is she practical and thoughtful about types of narratives, but even more important are the insights that she provides about the alternative methods of transforming narrative materials into published works. [...T]his excellent work will be indispensible for teachers of graduate courses in narrative and other qualitative methods and for research teams wanting to do first-rate narrative research."

Descriere
The
research
literature
on
narrative
has
grown
exponentially
over
the
last
20
years.
No
longer
the
province
only
of
literary
study,
the
"narrative
turn"
has
penetrated
almost
every
human
science:
anthropology,
sociology,
psychology,
history,
and
others.
However,
although
insights
about
individual
lives
may
be
compelling,
it
does
not
mean
that
the
"story"
can
"speak
for
itself"
and
still
be
a
useful
procedure.
Is
there
a
way
that
researchers
can
explain
their
analytic
procedures
or
representational
choices
when
they
present
a
narrative
study?Narrative
Methods
for
the
Human
Sciencesattempts
to
provide
guidance
on
this
situation.
Aimed
at
providing
the
rigor
needed
to
advance
applied
narrative
analysis,
Catherine
Riessman
provides
an
explanation
and
guideline
to
readers
on:
*
Presentation
of
and
reliance
on
detailed
transcripts
of
interview
excerpts
*
Methods
for
analyzing
the
structural
features
of
discourse
*
Analysis
of
the
co-production
of
narratives
through
the
dialogic
exchange
between
interviewer
and
participant.
After
completing
this
book,
readers
will
be
able
to
perform
a
narrative
study
that
can
be
defended
as
a
systematic
form
of
inquiry
and
provide
a
criteria
for
validation
of
their
narrative
study.
