“…For example, Chapman (2005) asks how stories play into the integration of values in river policies in Costa Rica. Scott (2000) examines historical captivity narratives in the United States by analyzing media narratives told during the Iranian Hostage Crisis of 1979. The author uses a case study and logical argumentation to conclude that historical narratives allow the media to communicate foreign policy to the American public through historically derived captivity values (Scott, 2000, p. 186).…”

Narratives are increasingly subject to empirical study in a wide variety of disciplines. However, in public policy, narratives are thought of almost exclusively as a poststructural concept outside the realm of empirical study. In this paper, after reviewing the major literature on narratives, we argue that policy narratives can be studied using systematic empirical approaches and introduce a "Narrative Policy Framework" (NPF) for elaboration and empirical testing. The NPF defines narrative structure and narrative content. We then discuss narrative at the micro level of analysis and examine how narratives impact individual attitudes and hence aggregate public opinion. Similarly, we examine strategies for the studying of group and elite behavior using the NPF. We conclude with seven hypotheses for researchers interested in elaborating the framework.

“…There is more to this than the intention commonly expressed by bereaved persons to live one's life differently, although Armour highlights the 'intense pursuit of what matters ' (2003: 525). This form of meaning-making requires a re-working of personal narratives (a common feature of complicated bereavement), which in these cases are intimately bound up with socio-political narratives; for example, Scott (2000) analyses the influence of 'American captivity narratives' in the reporting of hostage crises.…”

Drug-related Deaths and the ‘Special Deaths’ of Late Modernity

The literature on dying and bereavement has long recognized that the features of some deaths make them especially difficult to grieve.The defining features of such deaths and bereavement are that there is often a high level of trauma, they may be socially stigmatizing or existentially problematic, and the grief is frequently 'disenfranchized'.These deaths are special because they occur outside of attempts to create ontological security that have been suggested as a central feature of late modernity. In this article we argue that drug-related deaths represent one example of special deaths. Our argument is illustrated through three case studies taken from a small scale empirical study conducted by one of the authors. From this, a beginning typology for the 'special deaths' of late modernity is suggested. It is argued that better understanding of these deaths is a necessary feature of the theoretical revision of death in late modernity. KEY WORDSbereavement / disenfranchized grief / drug abuse / special deaths

“…Scott (2000) notes how mainstream American media presented Khomei ni as a "cagey," "fanatic," tyrannical leader and Islam as an "irrational," "arbitrary," and "crazed" religion. In her view, these images characterized the crisis as a "contest between civilization and barbarism" and a battle between Christianity and Islam.…”
