Abstract
Both narrative and metaphor provide mechanisms for making sense of the world. While metaphors elaborate and articulate particular points in a narrative, narrative provides meaningful connections between sometimes unrelated metaphors, suggesting a symbiotic relationship between the two. The innovative research methodologies and practices that feature in this volume reflect some contemporary post- and trans-movements and reflexive turns of the past 20 years, including post-structuralism, post-humanism, and new materialism. As a collection, this volume emphasizes diversity and difference, rather than looking for a unifying theory or method of narrative and metaphor. As the breadth of work represented here suggests, there are many approaches to narrative and metaphor research. This volume attests to the significance of stories and metaphor in everyday lives and in research.
As researchers we need to find new ways of connecting (Denzin & Lincoln, 2011, p. ix).
