Abstract
In this guest lecture I discuss how respondents narrate to convey a more or less coherent self-image through a myriad of partial, positive and/or negative identifications in interview settings. I provide an overarching framework for analysing the way interviewees articulate modes of subjectivity in discourse, based on a pragmatic re-interpretation of the poststructuralist concept of articulation developed in Essex style discourse theory. As such, I propose a mode of analysis that pays close attention to the way subjects rely on discourse in a balancing act between coherence and fragmentation.
