Narrative Research: Reading, Analysis, and Interpretation (Applied Social Research Methods)

Description:

What is the most effective way for a researcher to read and analyze life-story materials? Using a new model for the classification of types of readings, Narrative Research shows readers how to read, analyze and interpret life story materials. The authors first introduce readers to four models of reading and interpreting a text: the holistic-content reading, the holistic-form reading, categorical-content reading, and categorical-form reading. They next present two complete narratives so that readers can compare the author′s interpretations against the actual text as well as try to analyze the stories on their own. The subsequent chapters provide readings, interpretations, and analyses of the narrative data from the four models. Each of the examples is highlighted by sharing with the reader some of the processes of the researcher′ work, including various considerations, doubts, self-criticism, and dialogues about the narratives. Readers wanting to learn more about life story research will not only learn the tools for doing this analysis, but will be inspired to contribute their own creativity to this developing field.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help? How do I analyze story data?

S.P. · November 9, 2010

Many qualitative researchers love to work with narratives but don't want to attend to the demands of living alongside that Clandinin and Connelly's Narrative Inquiry: Experience and Story in Qualitative Research asks for or you are uncertain about how to use the three-dimensional narrative space to conduct an analysis. So the data collection process is over but now what will you do with all these stories? This book provides an answer and lots of good direction for enacting that answer. The book provides samples of narrative data and then articulates the process of moving from data collection through analysis. I have directed several novice researchers to this book and they have invariably loved it. I bought this most recent copy because I keep sharing the book and it seems to walk away and not return.

As someone who is preparing to do a piece of Doctorate level research, I must say that this book is one of the most helpful - in terms of clarity and useful, hands-on details of how to tackle narrative analysis - that I've come across. Heartily recommend it to anyone in a similar position!

The Skill of Narrative Research

I. · November 6, 2012

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in acquiring skills in the narrative study of lives. It is not a slick, easy step-by-step guide. Rather it emphasises the need for sensitivity, self-awareness, reflexive monitoring and meticulous application on the part of the researcher.Four models for narrative research are presented: holistic-content, holistic-form, categorical-content and categorical- form. Helpful instructions on the techniques and procedures for each method are provided. The authors hold the theoretical perspective that life stories provide us with access to the narrator's identity and personality. Transcripts of two life story interviews provide readers with the opportunity to perform their own interpretations and analysis and compare their results with those of the authors. Live stories, we are reminded, are usually complex, contradictory, unpredicable and unfinished, thus open to criticism and alternative explanations.
