Bruner examines narratives through the lens of drama, looking at representations of Place and Self and Other and...i can't remember. ;) but i haven't read Connelly & Clandinin in any depth yet to get a sense whether they perhaps delve differently into the interpretive work.Bonhttp://theory.cribchronicles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984487025516204486.post-13767340221210796272011-01-26T14:00:30.754+00:002011-01-26T14:00:30.754+00:00I agree, the authors themselves seem to 'steer...I agree, the authors themselves seem to 'steer away from this' intentionally, lest readers get sidetracked in the technicalities without taking on board the principals that clearly with to emphasise. I have not (yet) read too much on the details - my next step is reading "Telling Sexual Stories" by Ken Plummer. This was recomended by my supervisor as a look at narrative from a symbolic interactionist perspective, probably the line I'm going down. I would say that this book isn't the best on method, though. I want to look at "Doing narrative research" by Andrews et al (2008), so perhaps that's one to check?Ian Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11960287587996066679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984487025516204486.post-72613057461519944002011-01-26T03:27:58.819+00:002011-01-26T03:27:58.819+00:00Ian-

I used this methodology before, and am again considering using it with my thesis. <br /><br />Question for you; while I agree that the Clandinin and Connelly text does a fantastic job providing a defense for why to use this, I thought it was a bit short of suggestions for exactly how to use it and engage in it. What works have you found to guide those seeking to use the methodology?<br /><br />JeffreyJeffrey Keeferhttp://silenceandvoice.com/noreply@blogger.com
