Narrative Portraits in Qualitative Research offers an analytical
approach to qualitative data. Through narrative portraiture,
research findings can be contextualised in broader social
narratives without losing sight of the unique personal qualities of
the research encounter. Drawing a parallel between the artistic
work of a portrait maker in depicting a subject - sometimes an
object - and the work of the researcher in exploring people's
experiences, narrative portraiture invites a close-up into a
person's narrated and embodied experience and argues that one of
the main research findings in qualitative research is the person
themselves; their circumstances, and their life story. The book
proposes four approaches to narrative portraiture: (1) a systematic
approach to narrative analysis, (2) the use of phronesis in
narrative portraiture, (3) the concept of 'imagined portraits' as a
collaborative approach between visual arts and social sciences, and
(4) the use of 'performative portraits' both as an analytic tool
and product for research communication. This book will help
qualitative researchers create first-person narratives that will
give a glimpse into the participants' lives in a way that is
simultaneously deep, concise, and evocative. This book will be
suitable for those interested in narrative methods and qualitative
research in health care, education, and the social sciences.
