“…One significant step in The Listening Guide's systematic listening process (see Gilligan et al, 2003) involves a focus on 'I' statements that occur throughout the texts. On the assumption that sentences containing 'I' serve as key sites for making active claims about oneself, they provide discursive cues to indicate the kind of self that is being presented (Ely, Abrahams, MacGibbon, & McCabe, 2007). Thus, the researcher can 'listen' to what the 'I' is saying as part of making interpretations about how a person is actively positioning, or voicing, him or herself.…”

The lives of gifted young adolescents are often subject to adult‐generated and expert narratives that can impact a developing sense of self. However, opportunities for gifted young adolescents to represent themselves as informants can emerge through digital forms of qualitative research. This paper reports on the value of digital writing of journal entries, delivered by email to a researcher over several months, as an alternative to face‐to‐face interviews. Journaling methods combined with techniques of ‘listening for voices’ can support young adolescents in generating their own multi‐vocal narratives of self. This method capturing self‐narratives in email form has the potential to produce rich understandings of individual young adolescents’ self‐constructions.

The paper analyses six professional narratives in a workplace meeting. The first part presents the theoretical framework, namely definition, types of and approaches to identity and the main features of narratives, namely the structure, function, and narrator’s roles. The underlying assumption is that speakers display particular facets of their identity considering the environment and the type of interaction in which they are engaged and that narratives change depending on their purpose and context. The theoretical framework relies on Tajfel’s social constructionist approach to identity and on the Membership Categorization Analysis. The second part is the data analysis of the narratives presented by several employees of a multinational company during a phone conference meeting, with a focus on the professional identity in terms of narrative structure and values upheld by the narrators. The analysis presents the structure of the professional narratives, the values upheld, and the narrators’ roles and concludes with a possible professional master narrative.
