Reflections on the Narrative Approach: Dilemmas of Power, Emotions and Social Location While Constructing Life-Stories
反思了使用生命故事法理解摩洛哥和土耳其裔女性企业家多重身份建构的过程,强调研究者与被研究者之间的权力关系和情感因素需在分析中明确呈现。
This paper reflects on the use of life-stories as a way to get a better understanding of the multiple identity constructions of Female Entrepreneurs of Moroccan and Turkish Origin. Since life-stories are co-constructions of the researcher and researched, the paper argues that the relationship between these two parties and their different social locations should be explicated in the analysis and writing of the material, as these might reproduce certain power structures. Accounting for such social implications requires a thorough analysis of partiality, issues of inequality, as well as emotions that may direct researchers' interpretations.
