Narrative vs. Discursive analysis
Context
A case study
Conclusions
Strategy: discursive-narrative
Narrative analytic questions:
how stories are assembled
for whom
for what purpose
Findings:
narrators constituted their experiences as intense
and unbearable using a range of discursive practices and
devices :
producing contrasting descriptions of emotional states,
using figurative language (images, metaphores), vivid or vague
descriptions, and extreme case formulations
Involving the potential audithory
Importance:
It incorporates analytic concepts from discourse
analysis into the narrative analysis
It remembers the importance of analyzing the
narrators social or interactive orientation
