"In this bold and very important work, Peter Clough shows how the
truths about educational issues can be told using fictional
devices. This work legitimates the narrative turn in the human
disciplines. He shows educational researchers how narrative inquiry
can be used for progressive moral and political purposes." -
Norman K. Denzin, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
This compelling book takes a fresh approach to educational
research, considering the role and use of literary and ethnographic
approaches. There is growing interest in the use of narrative and
fictional methods and this book sets out to:
* locate narrative and fictional methods within the traditions of
education research;
* exemplify the use of narrative in studies of educational and
social settings;
* explain the processes of composing narrative and fictional
research
A distinctive feature of the book is the inclusion of five
'fictional' stories which demonstrate the use of narrative in
reporting research. Detailed discussion of these five stories shows
how they were created from actual events and the varied role of the
author in their creation. The methodological implications of such
an approach are considered along with its potential merits and
difficulties and its possible uses.
