Methodological Conceptualization of Narrative Analysis in Social Researches

The analytical attractiveness of narrative approach is evident not only in choosing research subject of particular analysis but also in incredibly flexible analytical possible achievements, whose results can be placed in a number of different and differently (vocational) established sub-sociological disciplines and sociological scientific branches. So it is possible to locate their research subjects in terms of discussion and researching within the sociology of education, sociology (new and old) media, sociology of film, sociology of women, sociology of island, sociology of culture, sociology of work, sociology of religion, sociology of human rights, urban sociology, etc., or even within those less developed or completely undeveloped special sociology. Thus, the base for narrative analysis is solely research nature but has got accented analytical purposes, such as explanation, presentation of aspects of the operationalization process, articularization of some different analytical procedures and techniques and so on. In the areas where it was possible to construct, more efficiently, the analytical categorical tools as a meaningful methodological units, it was possible to efficiently perform other analytical ideas and procedures and conceptualize different dimensions of the excavated objects or phenomena, or dimensioned other methodological tools (protocols, charts, forms, diagrams, etc.). Given the fact that the narrative analysis relatively less and less frequently used type analysis of the social (mainly sociological) research, studies, and research projects, we deem it necessary to emphasize the importance of improving and intensifying the development of exclusive modern methodologies, no matter what the social research field is.
