“…This study has theoretical implications for future research and also practical implications for a number of communities including professional organizations, therapy groups, or support groups, in which novice members can use narrative structure and strategies to construct their agentive identities from the bottom up, and central members can use narrative scaffoldings to help novices to construct their agency in their zone of proximal development (Vygotsky 1978). In addition, this study not only bridges the gap between "studies of identity performance in individual narratives and habitual or stable practices of narrative identity socialization" (Miller, Koven, and Lin 2012: 194), but also moves the study of narrative beyond speech events (Wortham and Rhodes 2015) to the empirical domain of professional socialization.…”

“…Despite beliefs that identity is selfinterpretative and constituted through the irreplaceable sense-making device of narratives (Bruner 1986(Bruner , 1990(Bruner , 2002, few studies have explored empirically how professional identities are socialized into being through naturally occurring narratives. In addition, Wortham and Rhodes (2015) recently suggest studying "the chains of narrating events" in order to explore the trajectory of social identification.…”

This study brings together the field of language socialization and narrative analysis to investigate agentive identity construction in a professional community in China. It proposes a conceptual model of agentive identity construction and tracks a novice member's identity trajectory. The study illustrates how her narratives moved from negative to positive over time, ultimately aligned with the habitual narrative practices of identity in the community. I argue, contrary to previous studies, the identity trajectory in this community is predictable across four stages. This study draws attention to narrative action in progress at multiple levels of positioning in the process of professional socialization.

“…The analysis of the PSTs' narratives as trajectories of small stories across narrating events contributes to connect what appears to be isolated and arbitrary comment as, in fact, part of larger patterns. This particular approach to narrative analysis demonstrates how linguistic cues in talk and text presuppose earlier cues, which should contribute to our understanding of individual narrating events as interconnected with past events (Wortham and Rhodes 2015). It would benefit future studies to collect a larger sample of linguistic autobiographies about PSTs' lived experience of language.…”

Pre-service teachers’ narratives about their lived experience of language

Drawing on recent developments within sociolinguistics, the objective of the current article is to explore how six pre-service teachers (PSTs) discursively positioned themselves and 'the multilingual' across two narrating events focused on their lived experience of language. The narrating events were focus groups with other PSTs (N = 24) and the participants' linguistic autobiographies (n = 6). A narrative analysis across the two events demonstrated how the six PSTs used indexical cues to discursively position themselves as monolingual speakers of Norwegian in contrast with 'multilinguals' as speakers of 'other languages'. Based on these findings, the article argues that the PSTs do not have an adequate understanding or vocabulary to discuss multilingualism in education, leading them to present 'the multilingual' as someone radically different from themselves. However, teacher educators can take PSTs' lived experience of language as a point of departure for discussing multilingualism in education and challenging the traditional understandings of multilingualism.

“…Además, no solo se necesita trascender el hecho de habla aislado sino que para tratar muchos procesos discursivos se requiere observar hechos de habla (speech Página80 events) conectados entre sí (AGHA; WORTHAM, 2005). Para algunas exploraciones, como en el presente estudio, conviene privilegiar una unidad de análisis de gran envergadura e identificarla atravesando varios hechos de habla que cumplen una misma función social (WORTHAM;RHODES, 2015). Un trabajo propio de base etnográfica que sirve de antecedente a este artículo pone el foco en series de encuentros sociales vinculados por trayectorias textuales que van transformando selectivamente contenidos, significados y usos de un texto original (CARRANZA, 2010).…”

Con una orientación hacia las nuevas fronteras en los estudios sobre narrativas en la vida cotidiana (CARRANZA, 2010; 2015a; WORTHAM; RHODES, 2015), aquí se propone considerar como macro relato el resultado de la integración de un conjunto de narrativas en un todo ensamblado por el receptor y desde su perspectiva, tal como ocurre en procedimientos institucionales. La práctica social observada pertenece al ámbito judicial, se desarrolla en una fiscalía de instrucción y abarca la toma de declaraciones testimoniales. La metodología empleada incluye el trabajo etnográfico de campo, el análisis narrativo y el uso de información visual y estadística que enriquece la interpretación de los acontecimientos narrados y de las experiencias en el lugar de residencia. El estudio revela la importancia de las conexiones causales establecidas en el mundo diegético y los significados asociados a la dimensión de lugar. Se demuestra la productividad de observar series de hechos de habla vinculados y de explorar los conjuntos y trayectorias textuales que emergen en ellos.
