我们回顾了一些最近的趋势，这些趋势使得叙事的收集和探索在社会科学中尤为突出。虽然我们承认叙事在社会生活许多方面的重要性，但我们对“叙事”和“证词”的流行提出了警告，尤其是在“定性”研究人员中。我们认为，太多的作者与“采访社会”的一般文化同谋，并且太愿意庆祝叙事和传记叙述，而不是对它们进行系统分析。同样，我们认为当代“自我民族志”的时尚常常导致对个人账户的不加反思的使用。
We review some of the recent trends that have made the collection and exploration of narratives especially prominent among the social sciences. While we acknowledge the significance of narratives in many aspects of social life, we sound a note of caution concerning the popularity of ‘narratives’, and ‘testimony’, not least among ‘qualitative’ researchers. We suggest that too many authors are complicit in the general culture of ‘the interview society’, and are too ready to celebrate narratives and biographical accounts, rather than subjecting them to systematic analysis. In the same way, we suggest that the contemporary fashion for ‘autoethnography’ too often leads to unreflective uses of personal accounts.
