critical Narrative Analysis the interplay of critical discourse and Narrative analyses
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, 2014Co-Authors: Mariana SoutomanningAbstract:In this article, I question the micro–macro separation in discourse Analysis, the separation of personal and institutional discourses. I apply a mostly macroanalytic perspective (critical discourse Analysis [CDA]) to inform a predominantly microanalytic perspective (Analysis of conversational Narratives) and vice versa. In the combination of these two analytic approaches to data Analysis, I explore the connections between macro-level power inequities and micro-level interactional positionings, thereby establishing critical Narrative Analysis (CNA). I examine the focus of CDA on institutional discourses and problematize the definition of power discourses by looking closely at the intertextual recycling of institutional discourses in everyday Narratives and at the adoption of everyday Narratives in institutional discourses. Ultimately, I propose that CNA unites CDA and Narrative Analysis in a mutually beneficial partnership that addresses both theoretical and methodological dilemmas in discourse Analysis.

chapter 4 Narrative Analysis in sport and physical culture
2012Co-Authors: Brett Smith, Andrew C SparkesAbstract:Originality/value – The chapter provides a succinct introduction to why Narratives matter, how Narrative Analysis as a craft might be practised and what theoretical assumptions underpin it. The authors also highlight innovative practices for deepening understandings of sport and physical culture. These include time-lining, mobile interviewing, analytical bracketing, crystallisation, meta-autoethnography and Analysis as movement of thought.

Narrative Analysis in sport and physical culture
2012Co-Authors: Brett Smith, Andrew C SparkesAbstract:Purpose – The purpose of this chapter is to outline what Narrative inquiry entails, why it is relevant for the study of sport and physical culture and how researchers might engage in its analytical methods. Design/methodology/approach – Narrative inquiry as an approach, not simply a method, is delineated in this chapter. The design of a project is outlined. Three types of Narrative Analysis – holistic-content, holistic-form and meta-autoethnography – are the focus. The chapter also attends to the benefits of using multiple forms of Analysis and representation as part of engaging with the methodology of crystallisation. Findings – Key findings of Narrative research on sport and physical culture are illuminated throughout. Research limitations/implications – The limitations of Narrative Analysis are highlighted, including how in many Narrative studies the interactional dynamics of storytelling are often neglected. Originality/value – The chapter provides a succinct introduction to why Narratives matter, how Narrative Analysis as a craft might be practised and what theoretical assumptions underpin it. The authors also highlight innovative practices for deepening understandings of sport and physical

Narrative Analysis and sport and exercise psychology understanding lives in diverse ways
Psychology of Sport and Exercise, 2009Co-Authors: Brett Smith, Andrew C SparkesAbstract:Abstract Objectives This article seeks to expand our understanding on Narrative and the Analysis of stories within the domain of sport and exercise psychology. Its intention is to describe, and not finalise or prescribe, what Narrative Analysis can be by illuminating a range of different ways in which sport and exercise psychologists might make sense of stories. Results Painting with broad strokes, some reasons as to why Narrative Analysis might be relevant for sport and exercise psychologists is first considered and then a description of Narrative Analysis is offered. Next, in order to better understand what Narrative Analysis can mean an original typology of different ways in which stories can be analysed is introduced. Illuminated by the typology are two contrasting standpoints toward Narrative Analysis—story analyst and storyteller—and three specific methods—structural, performative, and ethnodramatic creative analytic practices—that each standpoint might use to analyse the whats and hows of storytelling. Conclusion The article closes by suggesting that sport and exercise psychologists might consider using a variety of analyses in order to assist them to understand the complexities of people's lives in diverse ways.

Narrative and its potential contribution to disability studies
Disability & Society, 2008Co-Authors: Brett Smith, Andrew C SparkesAbstract:This article seeks to expand our understanding of Narrative and the Analysis of stories researchers invite and collect in the domain of disability studies. What Narrative inquiry is and various reasons why researchers might opt to choose to turn to Narratives are highlighted. Painting with broad strokes, Narrative Analysis is then considered before a typology of different ways in which stories can be analysed is offered. Illuminated by the typology are two contrasting standpoints on Narrative Analysis (storyteller and story analyst) and three specific methods (structural, performative, and autoethnographic creative analytic practices) that each standpoint might use to analyse the whats and hows of stories. The article closes by suggesting that researchers might consider using a variety of analyses in order to assist us to understand the complexities of the social world in diverse ways.

Grounded reality meets machine learning: A deep-Narrative Analysis framework for energy policy research
'Elsevier BV', 2020Co-Authors: Debnath R, Darby S, Bardhan R, Mohaddes K, Sunikka-blank MAbstract:Text-based data sources like Narratives and stories have become increasingly popular as critical insight generator in energy research and social science. However, their implications in policy application usually remain superficial and fail to fully exploit state-of-the-art resources which digital era holds for text Analysis. This paper illustrates the potential of deep-Narrative Analysis in energy policy research using text Analysis tools from the cutting-edge domain of computational social sciences, notably topic modelling. We argue that a nested application of topic modelling and grounded theory in Narrative Analysis promises advances in areas where manual-coding driven Narrative Analysis has traditionally struggled with directionality biases, scaling, systematisation and repeatability. The nested application of the topic model and the grounded theory goes beyond the frequentist approach of Narrative Analysis and introduces insight generation capabilities based on the probability distribution of words and topics in a text corpus. In this manner, our proposed methodology deconstructs the corpus and enables the analyst to answer research questions based on the foundational element of the text data structure. We verify theoretical compatibility through a meta- Analysis of a state-of-the-art bibliographic database on energy policy, Narratives and computational social science. Furthermore, we establish a proof-of-concept using a Narrative-based case study on energy externalities in slum rehabilitation housing in Mumbai, India. We find that the nested application contributes to the literature gap on the need for multidisciplinary methodologies that can systematically include qualitative evidence into policymaking
