Abstract:

An increasing number of people with terminal cancer are being cared for at home, often by their partner. This study explores the identity, experiences and relationships of people caring for their partner at the end of life and how they construct their experience through personal and couple narratives. It draws upon dialogical approaches to narrative analysis to focus on caring partners and the care relationship. Six participants were recruited for the study. Two methods of data collection are used: narrative interviews and journals. Following individual case analysis, two methods of cross-narr

Abstract:

This thesis consists of a literature review, a research paper and a critical review which report on children who are looked after and adopted. The literature review explores whether understanding attachment theory is improving services for children who are looked after. A narrative review of relevant literature considers the challenges for children in care, and considers how attachment theory provides a model for understanding their needs. The review then reflects on the context of the development of diagnostic criteria for attachment disorder and the impact of the wider dissemination of these

In this thesis I have examined the life stories of three victims of forced removals. It is based on an understanding that there is much that we can learn from the lives of 'ordinary people' and that the oral medium is a rich source of understanding other aspects of society. Chapter 1 sketches the background of this study, and the socio-political context within which it has grown. In the main theory section (chapter 2), I provide a general overview of the tools of narrative-based discourse analysis which I have used for my work and lead into a consideration of theories of memory and time.

Abstract:

Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) is a slow-onset language disorder associated with cortical atrophy affecting critical language regions of the brain. There are three recognized variants of PPA, and they have been characterized on the basis of spoken language comprehension and production, as well as the location of cortical atrophy. Although written language is also impaired in PPA, the research in this area is limited, especially at the text level. The aim of this paper was to characterize the written narrative language samples of three individuals, each diagnosed with a different variant of

This paper seeks to explore why the people of Switzerland have preponderantly voted in favour of a strong military defence despite the reality of Swiss security in the 21st century being dependent on international collaboration outside the military arena. The conundrum is answered by determining the Swiss Federal Council’s strategic narrative regarding security, through examination of its explanatory texts in voting booklets between 1978 and 2020, finding that the matter of armed neutrality is a red thread. Either neutrality is used as justification of an act supported by the Federal Council,

In recent years there has been an increased interest in computational social sciences, digital humanities and political sciences to perform automated quantitative narrative analysis (QNA) of text in large scale, by studying actors, actions and relations in a given narration. Social scientists have always relied on news media content to study opinion biases and extraction of socio-historical relations and events. Yet in order to perform analysis they had to face labour-intensive coding where basic narrative information was manually extracted from text and annotated by hand. This PhD thesis addr

Abstract:

This analysis of the narrative/anti-narrative debate in avant-garde film theory and praxis is contextualized in terms of the developments in Modernism in the visual and plastic arts. The problems raised by the aesthetic strategies formal autonomy versus narrative appropriation are explored by examining several discrete historical paradigms rather than following a strict linear historical chronology of the development of Modernism and avant-garde practices. Therefore the late 1930's East/West debates between the four writers associated with the Frankfurt school were discussed because their disc

In Britain in the twenty-first century stepfamilies are numerically common but difficult to define since they may cross household boundaries.

However, there have been research findings suggesting greater stress for stepmothers than stepfathers.

Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation.

Abstract:

Growing research highlights the need to target the prevention and early intervention of mental health problems. This is reflected in a number of recently published policies emphasising the pressing importance of addressing inequalities in mental health promotion and prevention, through an integrated approach which enhances the role of schools as pivotal settings in promoting positive mental health. A key focus in recent public health implementation programmes emphasises the ethical need of inviting the child’s perspective about decisions which affect their lives. Although there is growing supp

This thesis examines through the anal
