i've read the december reading - on narratives, autobiography,
interactional analysis/positioning -

i have to admit i am still stunned by the absence of the obvious - that
the narrator is
retelling a tramatic history of institutionalization experiences
in the context of an institution, and where the interviewer's distance
effectively recreates
the alienation of institutional discourses -

is there a methodological rationale for excluding the constructive
(reactive) aspects of context/place
in narrative/autobiography?

and i slow down, learning how to
enter - implicate and unspoken (still) heart-of-the-world.
