Rezensionen

"This Handbook provides a rich theoretical framework for working closely with narratives. Whilte much of narrative inquiry focuses on texts, this collection and the work it builds on shifts the focus to an analysis of practice-based social interaction. Covering a wode range of topics, this book will make an important contribution to our understanding of how to analyze the socio-cultural and discursive contexts in which narratives are always embedded."
Molly Andrews, Co-Director, Centre for Narrative Research, University of East London, UK

"The Handbook thoughtfully addresses both the internal structure and the external conditions of accounts, bringing the analysis of stories into the stream of everyday life. A major contribution to the growing interest in this important crossroads of narrative practice, it is interdisciplinary, accessible, and highly recommended."
Jaber F. Gubrium, University of Missouri, USA
