Lively and engaging, this book opens up powerful new approaches for understanding and enacting discourse and narrative methods. Drawing on their own research experiences, and working with examples of data from across themes of gender and space, media and society, and autobiographical writing, the authors effortlessly blend analysis of theoretical and social contexts with valuable, practical research strategies. Exploring differences and connections across narrative and research methods, Livholts and Tamboukou offer dazzling insights as well as welcome guidance for the beginner and experienced researcher alike. With its compelling storylines and clear-sighted accounts, this book simply stands apart from stock-standard methods textbooks and will fast become a classic reference for anyone grappling with the richness of these methods.
Author: Julie McLeodA book full of insights, theoretical trails for students to follow, and voluminous references to the diversity of scholarly work informing narrative and discourse. Livholts and Tamboukou provide an important corrective to overly pragmatic books that emphasizes the "doing" of a narrative study. They invite us to think deeply about talk and text, visual image and power, and to interrogate our situated positions as researchers - essential components of good scholarly work.
