Narrative Research: Research Methods
First published Open Access under a Creative Commons license asWhat is Narrative Research?, this title is now also available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series. Narrative research has become a catchword in the social sciences today, promising new fields of inquiry and creative solutions to persistent problems. This book brings together ideas about narrative from a variety of contexts across the social sciences and synthesizes under…
Narrating Resistant Citizenships through Two Pandemics
Covid has intensified inequalities in the UK, particularly for those already living with structural disadvantage, and despite community and popular resistance to those losses. Covid has also disproportionately affected people with HIV, especially those already living with multi-dimensional inequalities. However, many people with HIV have, as they have done before, made strong and often successful efforts to resist and to restore or reconstruct th…
The Long and Winding Road: Archiving and Re-Using Qualitative Data from 12 Research Projects Spanning 16 Years
We describe a pilot project designed to assess the feasibility of re-use across 12 diverse qualitative datasets related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in the UK, from research projects undertaken between 1997 and 2013 - an approach which is chronically underused. First, we consider the sweeping biomedical changes and imperatives relating to HIV in this time frame, offering a rationale for data re-use at this point in the epidemic. We then …
Moral barriers to HIV prevention and care for gay and bisexual men: Challenges in times of conservatism in Brazil
This article examines narratives about promiscuity that are emphasized by some gay and bisexual men who are themselves living with HIV. We used semi-structured interviews to assess the processes, outcomes, and meanings of HIV diagnosis among 10 young gay and bisexual men aged between 18 and 30 years old. Interviews were conducted in health service settings for the diagnosis and treatment of HIV and AIDS in Salvador, Brazil. Based on a sociocultur…
Lols@stigma: Comedy as activism in the changing times of the HIV epidemic
This paper examines how, in the midst of changing political times, some characteristics of HIV activism are changing, and suggests the relevance of these shifts for other fields of health activism. Despite the UK achieving UNAIDS’s ‘90–90-90ʹ testing and treatment goals, many in the UK lack up-to-date HIV knowledge and retain stigmatising attitudes, and some areas of testing failure remain. In response, people with HIV and HIV organisations are g…
Partial Secrets
The ability and right to have secrets may be a condition of social ethics (Derrida, A Taste for the Secret), but at the \nsame time the nature of secrets is that they undermine themselves. Once told, secrets are no longer secret but are \nknown. Even to name them as possibilities is to bring them into view as objects of knowledge. Secrets are thus \nalways in some ways partial secrets, but their "openness" also connotes the lack of certainty of a…

O que é narrativa
Este artigo discute a definição e contornos da “narrativa”. Inicialmente, ao se concentrar nos movimentos ou sucessões de signos narrativos e construção de sentidos, defende-se o descentramento da temporalidade e o reconhecimento de “narrativa” em imagens fotográficas, por exemplo. Em segundo lugar, considerando as particularidades das narrativas, o artigo discute como a pesquisa narrativa pode permitir transferibilidade e heurística, mais que ge…

You Are Here: Visual Autobiographies, Cultural-Spatial Positioning, and Resources for Urban Living
This paper reports on a study of visual autobiographies produced in art workshops conducted in a variety of social contexts in East London with 19 research participants 11 women and girls, 8 men and boys - ranging from 10 to the 50s. From narrative analysis of the images, associated interviews, and field notes on the production and exhibition of the images, the paper argues that the study of cultural activity can allow us to identify cultural-spa…
Lacanian psychoanalysis: Revolutions in subjectivity/Psychoanalysis outside the clinic: Interventions in psychosocial studies
Narratives, connections and social change
In this article, I suggest that narratives’ importance for social change may be understood by examining specific elements of narrative syntax — key rhetorical tropes within stories, and story genres. I argue that these stylistic elements generate social connections that themselves support and stimulate social change. I use Young’s (2006) theorisation of responsibility and global justice in terms of connection, to suggest how narratives may suppor…
Being naturalised, being left behind: The HIV citizen in the era of treatment possibility
With around five million people accessing anti-retroviral treatment, which significantly reduces mortality and extends life, the HIV pandemic now exists in a context of treatment possibility, if not access. This article discusses ways in which the pandemic is becoming naturalised through medicalisation, normalisation and marketisation, and how these processes undermine themselves internally. The article goes on to examine some further denaturalis…

Experience-Centred and Culturally-Oriented Approaches to Narrative
This chapter examines how we can study narratives as stories of experience, rather than events. It considers the problems associated with experience-centred narrative research, looks at ways to tackle such problems, particularly, adopting a more socially and culturally- directed research framework. It refers to the author's research about people’s stories of living \nwith HIV in South Africa.
Introduction: What Is Narrative Research?
I live in terror of not being misunderstood (Oscar Wilde, ‘The Critic as Artist’) In the last three decades, narrative has acquired an increasingly high profile in social research
Shifting the Focus: Sequential Methods of Analysis With Qualitative Data
The purpose of this article is to illustrate both the processes of data analysis and the methodological development involved in adopting the sequential use of two data analysis methods applied to the same data set. Understanding of the phenomena of interest was sought through examining both the content and the form of nurses' accounts of practice experiences. Initially, a method of thematic content analysis was applied to understand what the nurs…

Reading Narratives
Narratives are an increasingly popular focus of social research. Perhaps this is because ‘stories’ seem to promise human universality and accessibility, while analysis of them requires a rewardingly comprehensive attention to individual, social and cultural dimensions of language and meaning. In this paper, I examine some persuasive modes of understanding the social world as narrative, and the significance of such approaches for modes of social r…
Can an HIV-positive Woman Find True Love?: Romance in the Stories of Women Living with HIV
The majority of new HIV infections worldwide occur in women, and women's experiences of living with HIV have special connections with heterosexual relationships, reproduction and romance. Romance is also an important narrative genre for feminism, generating controversy over whether it can resignify or only reinforce dominant discourses and practices of gender and sexuality. This article reports on a longitudinal semi-structured interview study of…

White trash pride and the exemplary black citizen: Counter-narratives of gender, “race” and the trailer park in contemporary daytime television talk shows
This paper examines narrative representations of “race” and gender in daytime television talk shows. This television genre is saturated with told stories; indeed, it often seems to be these stories that account for the genre’s critical and academic dismissal, despite its fifteen-year dominance in daytime television, particularly in the US. The genre is also characterised by visual patterns that have narrative features. Disparities have been claim…

Neighbors Who Might Become Friends: Selves, Genres, and Citizenship in Narratives of HIV
HIV is a condition that seems powerfully to define identities and communities. In some cases it appears to have generated new, culturally and politically radical forms of both. Drawing on a series of interviews over two to three years with people infected or affected by HIV, this article examines how interviewees describe their communities and identities as determined by HIV, though in partial, limited ways. The article explores how the “self” op…

Empowering Women? The Oprah Winfrey Show
The Oprah Winfrey Show, the most-watched US daytime talk show, aims to empower women. This article examines the show's representations of gender and how images of `race', sexuality and class cross-cut them. It considers the show's status as television psychology. It explores the show's translation of aspects of black feminism to television, and discusses the social implications of its `super-real' representations
Safety, Danger and the Movies: Women's and Men's Narratives of Aggression
Most stories about aggression belong either to the `Insider Gothic' or to the `Outsider Gothic' narrative genre, both of which are common in contemporary films. Through these genres, both women and men express and develop ambivalent relationships with aggression: these include fear and resistance, pleasure and condemnation. Within the narratives, though, zones of safety are much narrower for women than for men, and resistance is more private

Science Fictions
This paper argues that reading science fiction can help us understand contemporary debates in feminist psychology and envisage its future. It examines how science fiction, by extrapolating from accepted scientific realities, generates conceptual uncertainties which resemble those existing in feminist psychology around objectivity. The paper then explores how science fiction's stylistic uncertainties are paralleled in feminist psychology. Science …

Interpretive Group Psychotherapy and Dependent Day Hospital Patients: A Preliminary Investigation
A small group of highly dependent day hospital patients, together with a small number of 'potential' day hospital referrals sharing similar characteristics, were treated in twice weekly interpretive group psychotherapy for between seven and nine months. At the end of treatment three of four day hospital patients had made a successful separation from the day hospital, and at nine month follow-up outcome appeared improved. Only two of the six non-d…
