Description:
How we tell stories and what our stories reveal about us, our lives and our
relations with others has attracted the attention of numerous strands of
social scientific inquiry. It is notable that narrative research interviews
constitute the main qualitative method for identity analysis. Discourse and
sociolinguistic studies of storytelling have drawn on this diversity of social
scientific work but they have also infused it with vital insights into how
everyday life stories are told in interaction with other people and in
specific contexts. Narrative analysis has been particularly useful and
instrumental in studies of multilingual/multicultural individuals and groups.

Instructors: Anna De Fina (Georgetown) & Alex Georgakopoulou (King’s College
London)

Course Description:The aim of this course is to familiarize you with the main
frameworks within discourse and sociolinguistic studies for the analysis of
stories and identities.
The presentation of concepts and analytical tools will become tangible with
close analysis of a wide range of stories from various everyday life contexts:
cafés, classrooms, the workplace, social media platforms, etc.

The main reading resource for this course is De Fina, A. & Georgakopoulou, A. 
Analyzing narrative: Discourse and sociolinguistic perspectives (2012, CUP).
