Abstract

This chapter reveals how Ricoeurian and Deleuzian/Guattarian concepts are brought together to develop a theory of interpretation supporting a new analytical tool for interpreting fictional texts alongside personal narrative interview data. The section concludes by detailing how the Teaching Men project has designed productive methods of interpretation as well as addressing issues such as validity and rigor and methodological credibility.

We borrow from the stories of the films we see to help us create ourselves as characters and organize the plot lines of our daily lives.

Dalton (1999, p. 2)
