Storytelling as Research/Research as Storytelling
Lewis, Patrick J.
Qualitative Inquiry, v17 n6 p505-510 Jul 2011
If story is central to human meaning why, in the research world, is there not more storytelling? Walter Benjamin (1973) noted that, "a story is different. It does not expend itself. It preserves and concentrates its strength and is capable of releasing it even after a long time" (p. 90). How might research not expend itself, but preserve and concentrate its strength? (Contains 2 notes.)
