Description

Narrative, the process of making or telling a story, is a prime concern of social science today. The essays and editorial commentary in this volume brilliantly advance our understanding of the implications of the 'narrative turn' in the social sciences. International contributors assess the methodological implications, and present a fascinating range of case-studies, from the Princess Diana interview to the memoirs of the wives of US nuclear scientists. The lessons drawn on the inter-relationship between experience, self and society will be of vital interest to sociologists, historians and psychologists alike.
