<p class="elementToProof" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Scholars in the field of narrative analysis have long argued in favour of a shift from the study of “prototypical”
labovian narratives to those that flout the canon. However, definitions of what may be considered worthy of study still tend to be set in the privileged research centres of the Global North. This edited collection thus seeks to unite those working beyond such
borders in order to reflect on the shape of narrative and interaction in the Global South.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Though some scholars of narrative analysis may be largely interested in advancing theory, in contexts still marred by the legacy of colonialism, narrative research tends to
be driven by the political agenda of contemporary social research. Narrative is thus seen as a tool which may be used to garner understanding of social injustices related to markers such as gender, race, class and sexuality, amongst others. Narrative analysis
further has the potential to stretch disciplinary boundaries, enabling scholars to combine detailed microanalysis of narrative practice with methodological tools derived from a range of disciplines, facilitating collaborations with researchers from beyond
their own immediate field of study. </span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">By zooming in on the sites of engagement in which storytelling takes place, researchers may thus focus attention on any number of the interactional goals for which narrative
may be exploited: from the production of identity and the contestation/reinforcement of beliefs, values, labels and political structures to the creation of coherence, cultivation of relationships/affiliations and stirring of audiences into action. By understanding
narrative as a situated practice which offers snapshots of the wider discursive struggles in which social actors are inevitably engaged, narrative analysis as a microanalytical tool allows scholars to reflect on such issues and the ways in which they may be
indexicalised and negotiated at the level of interaction. </span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">With this in mind, this edited collection welcomes contributions guided by this perspective and which seek to shift the spotlight from so-called “developed” countries and the
Western discourse and epistemes produced there, to the fringes of the globalised system, so that the “Master Narratives” and canonical definitions of the Global North may be reshaped. </span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We particularly welcome chapters from research centres in the Global South which discuss the ways in which scholars have adapted theoretical contributions from the field of
narrative analysis or have formulated new concepts in order to prioritise the examination of issues faced by those whose stories have long been silenced. Scholars based at institutions in the Global North whose research addresses issues specific to the Global
South are also encouraged to contribute. </span></p>
