Tying up to a postmodernist notion of identity as fragmented, incongruent, and constructed in the process of narrating (Pavlenko, 2006, pp. 13ff.), this chapter shows how Finnish-German research participants evaluate cultural and linguistic practices of the national spaces of Germany and Finland to construct conflicting bilingual and bicultural identities in a narrative interview. With the help of the analytical framework of Positioning Theory that takes the interactional embedding of the recounted narratives into account, the analysis demonstrates that the constructed identities grow out of the interview talk and are multiple on different interactional levels. On a vertical level, tellers orient both to the local interactional requirements of the interview and to broader discourses of (Finnish-German) bilingualism and biculturalism in the same moment in time. On a horizontal level they make national space relevant in different moments in time and thereby construct partly incommensurate bilingual and bicultural identities.Less

This chapter discusses the contours of debates around values and ethics when conducting narrative interviews with (ex-) offenders. In particular, two desistance-focused research projects are used to highlight the challenges faced by the reflexive researcher around ‘taking sides’. Practical strategies which were used at pre-interview, in-situ and post-interview stages are highlighted, along with the more conceptual struggles experienced around interpretive authority and appropriate researcher/subject sympathy.This chapter concludes that a clear, yet often challenging, distinction is required between empathy and sympathy. This can assist in ensuring researchers do not fall into such a deep sympathy with the people they are studying, that they begin to engage with the right/wronged morality paradigm. In line with Becker’s critique this distinction, to some extent, protects the research from hierarchy of credibility issues.Less

This chapter concentrates on the ethical aspects of biographical interviewing and analysis. It reflects on the experience of the author as a researcher, as she explores some ethical issues, heightened in the face of the unanticipated political responses. The ethical aspects of biographical interviewing discussed in this chapter is concerned mainly with the stages during which the material is collected and subjected to detailed structural analysis. The chapter also considers the problem of collective work on narrative interviews.Less

Healthcare is a knowledge-based system. It draws on several different types of knowledge - scientific knowledge about biological processes, epidemiological knowledge about patterns of disease and risk factors, and clinical knowledge about how to treat medical problems. This book is concerned with a fourth type of knowledge that is equally important, but sometimes overlooked, namely how people experience health, illness, treatment and the delivery of care. In putting the book together our aim was to introduce readers to the various ways in which people’s experience of health and healthcare can be recorded, analysed and, where necessary, improvedLess

This chapter discusses arts-based research (filmic analysis and walking ethnographies) with asylum seekers and migrants waiting in border spaces, mostly in camps (in Greece, France, Jordan and Melilla) to move on with their journey. The construction of the camp as a site of containment, constraint and a border space and what this means in the lives of the people and families waiting, some for many years, is examined through narrative interviews, photographs and filmic work. The chapter examines the constitution of space through the relational, embodied and imagined experiences of migrants and the material and symbolic concept of the border and border spaces in their lives, journeys and sense of belonging.Less
