Petra Munro Hendry Reihenfolge der Bücher

This book extracts narrative inquiry from method, representing a shift to a post-humanist, post-qualitative perspective that views research as an ontology—a way of being—rather than merely a production mode. It deconstructs fundamental research assumptions: method, data, analysis, and findings, reconfiguring them as relational intra-action. Constructed as a dialogue among three authors, the text focuses on their experiences as qualitative, narrative researchers, revisiting six previously published works that explore the contradictions and ironies of engaging in pragmatist, critical, feminist qualitative research. After a lengthy introduction that problematizes 'method', the book is divided into three sections, each containing two chapters. These sections are bracketed by introductions to the issues discussed and 'dialogue interludes' where the authors deliberate on the questions raised about method and narrative research. The central premises of 'narrative research as being' include: 1) relationships, 2) listening, and 3) unknowing. This book is suitable for both introductory and advanced courses in qualitative research, narrative inquiry, educational research, and those employing critical theories in qualitative and narrative inquiry.
