...others, in a moving assemblage (Schipper and Fryzel, 2011), and these clusters of narrative create patterns of likely scenarios (Cross, 2010) which are not just meaningmaking but ‘world-making’ (Boje, 2011)....

...Such narratives are seen as exploratory devices that probe multiple possible futures (Cross, 2010), suggesting trajectories of unfolding becomings without the limitations of narrative closure (Boje, 2011) – in the case of the stories below, this analysis seeks not to close them down by reading the gender discourses but instead wonders what else is in the process of becoming through them....

...Here I am going to briefly review examples of such attempts and work towards a post-human, assemblage inspired argument that care is emergent and agentic, and that developing affirmative rather than deconstructive analyses of these teachers’ proto- or ante-narratives (Boje, 2011; Cross, 2010) might enable us to go elsewhere than the gendered grounds of the debate...

...Abstract The article explores further Lyra (1999) and Hermans’ (1999, 2001a, 2001b) glossing of complexity terminology within analysis of identity formation, taking a particular interest in differing uses of narrative within identity negotiations....

...The context is the ‘included middle’ to which Deleuze and Guattari refer, those places, like Detroit, which have been found to be expendable, quickly coming to comprise ‘internal Third Worlds, internal souths’ (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987, p. 469)....

...What is evident within this diagram is that the oppositional narratives have differing import or to borrow Bakhtin’s terms, a different ‘spin’ as the discussion evolves. In the earlier part of the conversation most of the narratives are shared between Joan and Jackie who fill in the details or echo imitations in a project of building consensus (Themes 1–7). Here narratives seem to serve to condense the portrayal of the issues to a unified version emphasising distrust. In Lyra’s (1999) terms of analysis this could be seen to be the work of establishing mutual grounds for agreement....

...A keen interest in Bakhtin’s (1981) Dialogic Imagination underpinned this desire to see what interpretive light further exchanges of narratives as ‘utterances’ might shed on those collected so far, particularly as they relate to Hermans’ (2001a, 2001b) question of disjuncture....

...The next development could be argued to require even more trust, the trust needed to explore the potential of the surplus of vision (Bakhtin, 1990) that exists from their differing vantage points. From this point onward, indicated by the outward facing arrows, there is a more exploratory creative act of examining how other events might form the next moments in their on-going life narratives (Themes 16–22). I would interpret this as illustrating Lyra’s (1999) assertion that the prior moves open up a more creative space and use of each other’s perspectives....
