Narrative methods for the human sciences

Aimed at providing the rigour needed to advance narrative analysis, the author provides an explanation and guideline to readers on: presentation of and reliance on detailed transcripts of interview excerpts; and methods for analyzing the structural features of discourse and the 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.
