Incoherence matters: Life-stories after fundamental regime-change
In: Narrative inquiry: a forum for theoretical, empirical, and methodological work on narrative, Band 25, Heft 2, S. 283-300
ISSN: 1569-9935
Life-stories are usually seen as showing considerable coherence even where they include turning points. More recent work has in contrast noted that "living" or "small narratives" do not follow this rule but contrastingly enable the pondering of unresolved life-events helping to develop understanding. This potential is particularly valuable in contexts of fundamental regime-change where changes of the value-system, such as after transition from state socialism to democracy, pose considerable challenges to narrative coherence. The article suggests reconsidering the question of coherence in life-stories and draws on two examples of individuals who experienced life in East Germany and German unification to argue that struggles for coherence in the life-story can be indicative of the lack of wider shared frameworks for the understandings of national events and historical problems.

The ethnographic self as resource: writing memory and experience into ethnography
It is commonly acknowledged that anthropologists use personal experiences to inform their writing. However, it is often assumed that only fieldwork experiences are relevant and that the personal appears only in the form of self-reflexivity. This book takes a step beyond anthropology at home and auto-ethnography and shows how anthropologists can include their memories and experiences as ethnographic data in their writing. It discusses issues such as authenticity, translation and ethics in relation to the self, and offers a new perspective on doing ethnographic fieldwork. Peter Collins received
