Document Summary
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and reflections on my letter and sharing your own experiences as well. Moving on to the next reading, connelly and clandinin discuss narrative inquiry as being based on telling as storytelling. One of the most important sections of the reading that related to lecture material is when connelly and clandinin talk refer to the three commonplaces of narrative inquiry; temporality, sociality and place. They state that temporality describes events, people or objects as having a past, present and future. They maintain that in order to relay a narrative explanation one must know the temporal history of the event, meaning what happened the day prior, the day prior to that day, the month prior and so on. Next they explain sociality as being the second narrative inquiry commonplace. The authors put forward the idea that experiences occur within social conditions that make up the context of the event.
