Studying life narratives -- pt. 2. On forms of narrativity."We live in an age of narrative: life stories are a crucial ingredient in what makes us human and, in turn, what kind of human they make us. In recent years, narrative analysis has grown in interest and use across many areas of research; up until now, however, this rapidly developing approach has lacked the firm theoretical underpinning that would allow researchers to both approach such research in a reliably structured way, and to interpret the results more effectively. Developing Narrative Theory looks at the contemporary need to study life narratives, considers the emergence and salience of life narratives in contemporary culture, and discusses different forms of narrativity. It shows in detail how life story interviews are conducted, and demonstrates how the process often begins with relatively unstructured life story collection but moves to a more collaborative exchange, where sociological themes and historical patterns are scrutinised and mutually explored. At the core of this book, the author shows that, far from there being a singular form of narrative or an infinite range of unique and idiosyncratic narratives, there are in fact clusters of narrativity and particular types of narrative style. These can be grouped into four main areas: Focussed Elaborators; Scripted Describers; Armchair Elaborators; and Focussed Describers. Drawing on data from several large-scale studies from countries across the world, Professor Goodson details how theories of narrativity and life story analysis can combine to inform learning potential. Timely and innovative, this book will be of use to anyone researching or developing learning strategies and resources, as well as those interested in lifelong learning and professional and self-development practices"--Provided by publisher.EducationBiographical methodsDiscourse analysis, NarrativeResearchPostmodernism and educationEducationBiographical methods.Discourse analysis, NarrativeResearch.Postmodernism and education.370.721EDU000000EDU002000bisacshGoodson Ivor862274MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911092835503321Developing narrative theory4767679UNINA04457nam 2200673 a 450 991110511680332120230725051929.097866137861669781281605474128160547697802315274600231527462(CKB)2550000000036325(EBL)908823(OCoLC)826476115(SSID)ssj0000535421(PQKBManifestationID)12202260(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000535421(PQKBWorkID)10536489(PQKB)11239379(Au-PeEL)EBL908823(CaPaEBR)ebr10472006(OCoLC)731128332(Perlego)774469(MiAaPQ)EBC908823(EXLCZ)99255000000003632520101007d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrA convergence of civilizations the transformation of Muslim societies around the world /Youssef Courbage and Emmanuel Todd ; translated by George HolochNew York Columbia University Pressc2011New York :Columbia University Press,[2011]1 online resource (153 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9780231150026 0231150024 Includes bibliographical references and index.Contents; List of Figures and Tables; Introduction: Clash of Civilizations or Universal History?; 1.

The demographics of one group remain sluggish, while the population of the other has exploded, widening the cultural gap and all but guaranteeing the outbreak of war. Leaving aside the media's sound and fury on this subject, measured analysis shows another reality taking shape: rapprochement between these two civilizations, benefitting from a universal movement guiding humanity since the Enlightenment.This book's historical and geographical sweep discredits the notion of a sDemographyIslamic countriesPopulationDemography.304.60917/67Courbage Youssef127500Todd Emmanuel1951-151130Holoch George1921051MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911105116803321A convergence of civilizations4691655UNINA
