The socially minded linguistic study of storytelling in everyday
life has been rapidly expanding. This book provides a critical
engagement with this dynamic field of narrative studies, addressing
long-standing questions such as definitions of narrative and views
of narrative structure but also more recent preoccupations such as
narrative discourse and identities, narrative language, power and
ideologies. It also offers an overview of a wide range of
methodologies, analytical modes and perspectives on narrative from
conversation analysis to critical discourse analysis, to linguistic
anthropology and ethnography of communication. The discussion
engages with studies of narrative in multiple situational and
cultural settings, from informal-intimate to institutional. It also
demonstrates how recent trends in narrative analysis, such as small
stories research, positioning analysis and sociocultural
orientations, have contributed to a new paradigm that approaches
narratives not simply as texts, but rather as complex communicative
practices intimately linked with the production of social life.
