Discourse Analysis and Narrative

Abstract

In this chapter we describe the development of narrative analysis within discourse studies from its initial focus on the structural properties of stories to its current emphasis on narration as discursive practice embedded in interactional context. Besides comparing structural and interactional approaches, we also review major trends in narrative research such as the “narrative turn” in the social sciences, and significant fields of investigation such as research on narratives in socialization and in institutional contexts. We end the chapter with a note on current issues and envisaged future developments
