居住地的变更在当代西方社会是很常见的。随着人们搬迁和迁移，与出生地、家乡和国家的传统联系被打破，但他们居住的地方对他们的身份主张和他们是谁的故事仍然很重要。这本书调查了妇女身份的持续重要性，采用了理论和实证的方法，在叙事和话语心理学以前的工作为基础。
通过对女性谈话的分析，这本书探讨了常识意义如何塑造和限制人们的身份工作，以建立与地方的联系。它认为，谈论地方，特别是居住地，使一个复杂的定位自我和他人的身份，性别，阶级和民族认同交叉。它显示了一个说话者对她居住的地方的多重解释如何仍然是她生活叙事的核心，以及她对“家”的脆弱和理想化的定义，即她可以积极定位自己的地方。
《身份与地点的叙事》将叙事和话语分析的流行方法进行了独特而有价值的整合，有力地展示了这些方法对身份研究的价值。
Changes of residence are common in contemporary Western societies. Traditional connections to birthplaces, home towns and countries are broken as people relocate and migrate, yet where they live remains significant for their identity claims and stories of who they are. This book investigates the continuing importance of place for women’s identities, employing a theoretical and empirical approach based on previous work in narrative and discursive psychology.
Through an analysis of women’s talk, the book examines how commonsense meanings shape and limit people’s identity work to establish a connection to place. It argues that talk about place, and especially place of residence, enables a complex positioning of self and others in which identities of gender, class and national identity intersect. It shows how a speaker’s multiple interpretations of where she lives remain central to her life narrative, and to her fragile and idealized definition of "home" as the place in which she may position herself positively.
Narratives of Identity and Place presents a unique and valuable integration of the popular methods of narrative and discourse analysis, compellingly demonstrating the value of these approaches for research on identity.
