A widely used meditation app, Calm, offers a genre of audio-based “sleep stories”, designed specifically to facilitate falling asleep. While sharing some linguistic similarities with other discourses of mindfulness and guided meditation, sleep stories are stylistically unique, challenging conventional storytelling structures in ways that encourage physical and mental downregulation. In reference to a focused, qualitative corpus of sleep stories transcribed from Calm’s sleep story library, this paper examines the most popular form of this new and hitherto unstudied narrative genre: the train sleep story sub-category. Through analysis of you-narration, and the construal of agency and motion, this paper explores how the conceptual metaphor sleep is a journey structurally underpins these unusual stories, establishing an idealised and immersive experience whereby listeners become travellers, the act of falling asleep becomes a journey, and, finally, sleep becomes a destination.","PeriodicalId":46671,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Inquiry","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149151624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on eleven case studies across the UK, the US, and France, the book integrates multimodal analysis with critical narrative analysis to examine how linguistic, visual, and gestural resources coordinate in narrative construction. This review affirms the systematicity and transferability of its methodology, while noting that its claim to generalisability within non-Western democracies remains underexamined, and that its treatment of digital platforms does not fully engage with platform-specific interactivity and algorithmic mechanisms. Overall, the book provides a valuable analytical tool for research in political communication, discourse studies, and digital media.","PeriodicalId":46671,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Inquiry","volume":"243 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149092896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine whether this prototype, which privileges personal transformation, survives in the training materials of LLMs and persists through alignment processes. We analyze 60 stories generated through minimal prompting using DeepSeek, ChatGPT, Copilot, and Grok. The results point towards the emergence of a new narrative prototype that invites us to reconsider narrative capital as it was understood in the Web 2.0 era with social media as its main narrative environment.","PeriodicalId":46671,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Inquiry","volume":"198 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149092895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the metaphors knowing is seeing and secrets are objects, the paper examines how gestures embody and complement verbal expressions of revealing one’s sexual orientation. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzes a set of gestures from a coming out narrative, identifying systematic patterns expressed in image schemas (e.g., object, containment) and their role in shaping the coming out frame and the emerging metaphorical scenarios. The findings reveal that gestures not only align with verbal content but also add layers of meaning, enhancing the narrative’s conceptual complexity over time. This research contributes to the understanding of multimodal communication in personal and culturally sensitive narratives, offering insights into metaphorical embodiment and narrative coherence.","PeriodicalId":46671,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Inquiry","volume":"31 1","pages":"258-280"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on a case study of one asylum seeker’s account, it examines how negotiations of place function as narrative resources under institutional constraints. Combining concepts of polycentricity, orders of indexicality, and interactional positioning, the analysis shows how narratives about place are co-constructed, contested, and evaluated in interaction. The data consists of two recorded interviews conducted by the Swedish Migration Agency. The study demonstrates how place is narrated relationally and experientially by the asylum seeker, yet institutionally interpreted through a narrow, cartographic lens, often via interpreter-mediated formulations. The analysis highlights the narrative consequences of this disjuncture, showing how credibility is negotiated, undermined, or reconfigured as participants engage in ongoing interactional and indexical work. In doing so, the article contributes to our understanding of narrative as shaped by institutional interaction and competing spatial frameworks.","PeriodicalId":46671,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Inquiry","volume":"31 1","pages":"233-257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on 144 story tweets, the analysis focuses on how advice exchanges manifest as acts of narrative identity positioning. With Bamberg’s (1997) three-level model of positioning, interactional pragmatics, and membership categorisation analysis, the study examines the emergence and co-construction of tale-world, interactional, and ideological dimensions of identity in the context of health communication. The findings reveal that advice-giving interactions, as acts of identity positioning, manifest as cautionary tales, the evaluated biographical selves of storytellers, the management of institutional roles, and as a concession to oppositional pressures, acquiescence to, or mostly resistance to, hegemonic subject positions. The paper concludes that health advice-giving practices should be understood as discursive sites where power and identity are negotiated. Therefore, practitioners should aim to co-construct advice interactions that minimise asymmetry and foster collaborative meaning-making rather than reproducing hierarchical relations.","PeriodicalId":46671,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Inquiry","volume":"28 1","pages":"281-306"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two interview waves with five West African migrants in Southern Italy (2018; 2023–2024) are analyzed across three domains: Economic–Political, Socio–Cultural, and Environmental–Geographical. Paired comparisons are reported only where within-speaker narratives were comparable across waves. Using the crafting-styles framework, the analysis shows a shift from more stable, closure-oriented tellings in 2018 to more reversal-driven, deconstructive tellings in 2023–2024. This form drift tracks changes in evaluation, agency attribution, and the narratability of the host society as a setting for future planning. Methodologically, the study shows how narrative selection and crafting-style patterns support parsimonious longitudinal comparison and strengthen within-case temporal inference beyond content-focused readings, while also clarifying how coherence and closure become harder to sustain under prolonged institutional contact and precarity.","PeriodicalId":46671,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Inquiry","volume":"51 1","pages":"358-387"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While revealing a range of different narrative types, the analysis of stories told by both “safe” and “edgy” comedians alike illustrates recurring themes such as: the ahistorical construction of offense-taking in response to comedy material as a recent phenomenon, portrayals of offended audience members as humorless, and the attribution of responsibility to mass media as well as bloggers and social media users, who are represented as fomenting exaggerated reactions of audience outrage. Through these performed narratives, all four comedians embed reflections on reception to their own work within their sets.","PeriodicalId":46671,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Inquiry","volume":"198 1","pages":"388-411"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a naturally occurring conversation in which a narrator reflects on losing romantic feelings for a close friend, the analysis explores how she negotiates critique and care while justifying that loss. Drawing on Duranti’s (2006) notion of existential coherence and Ochs and Capps’s (2001) tension between narrative coherence and authenticity of experience, I argue that contradiction is not a threat to narrative integrity but a generative resource within it. Specifically, I identify three narrative strategies through which the narrator pursues self-justification: ( 1 ) casting past action as warranted, ( 2 ) utilizing but to negotiate contradictory stances, and ( 3 ) evaluating the self against others. I introduce the concept of “coherence through contradiction” to capture how competing evaluative stances are interactionally patterned such that moral ambivalence becomes a stable and intelligible feature of narrative self-presentation.","PeriodicalId":46671,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Inquiry","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149124221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
