Reflexive Tales: Doubt and Deconstruction

  • Susie Scott

摘要

Chapter 6 discusses the participants’ capacity for internal self-reflection in the process of account formation. I observe three types of reflexivity (self, epistemological and relational) that occurred in the stages of identity construction, reconstruction and performance. This involved searching for meaning, doubting and revising one’s own testimony and breaking character to comment on the storytelling act. Participants could be critically aware of the limits to credible self-authorship and managed the social ‘tellability’ of their narrative truths.
