Episode 6
In this ‘what’s new’ episode of Narrative Now we spoke to Arlie Hochschild, Emerita Professor at University of California, Berkeley and a world-renowned sociologist of emotion. We discussed her widely celebrated 2016 book Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right, based on her fieldwork with Tea Party Republicans in the US, and specifically the idea of ‘deep stories’ she develops in the book. To open up this concept for narrative researchers, we asked Hochschild how the idea of deep stories came about, what characterises it, as well as how we might work with deep stories.
