Title
The Politics of Personal Narrative Methodology
Description
Performance studies theory essay that explores in specific an interview with a Franco-American woman in Maine. From Peterson and Langellier: "Any study of personal narrative involves researchers and performers in contested, hence political, concerns of context and power. These concerns tend to be obscured methodologically by three commonplace assumptions: personal narrative is a text, personal narrative can be fully transcribed and analyzed, and personal narrative is not performance. This essay examines these assumptions and illustrates their methodological implications with an excerpt from an interview narrative with a breast cancer survivor."
