Considering Counter-Narratives
Narrating, resisting, making sense
Editors
Counter-narratives only make sense in relation to something else, that which they are countering. The very name identifies it as a positional category, in tension with another category. But what is dominant and what is resistant are not, of course, static questions, but rather are forever shifting placements. The discussion of counter-narratives is ultimately a consideration of multiple layers of positioning. The fluidity of these relational categories is what lies at the center of the chapters and commentaries collected in this book. The book comprises six target chapters by leading scholars in the field. Twenty-two commentators discuss these chapters from a number of diverse vantage points, followed by responses from the six original authors. A final chapter by the editor of the book series concludes the book.

“Researchers, teachers or students interested in the subject of counternarratives, narrative analysis, and discursive resistance will find the collection very useful. It is informatively and methodologically fruitful, as well as thought-provoking through fostering debates between authors and commentators.”
Justyna Ziólkowska, University of Opole, in Multilingua Vol. 25, 2006
“This informatively and methodologically fruitful volume is especially valuable for its multifaceted insight and dynamic perspective. The focus constantly shifts from the single steps of the specific contributions to the path they move along, from a situated action to an interactional situation. The unifying and salient issues are interaction and transformation. The unpredicted tripartite organization of the chapters reflects the findings of the essays, which show that narratives and counter-narratives are subsumed to a transformation process, rather than representing two fixed -- and in this case opposite -- categories, or just them. So is the dynamic perspective embedding the making of a research and the researcher's attitude, which is referred to when authors talk about their reading their papers after some time or about their involvement, or else is pointed out through the commentaries and the relevant responses.”
