Abstract

This chapter focuses on the interactive organization of story prefaces, and Goffman's deconstruction of the speaker. It explains how different kinds of present participants, such as the story's principal character, make crucial, visible contributions to the interactive field that constitute a telling even when they do not speak. The chapter discusses the visible cognitive life of the hearer. It talks about families of stories that extend across particular tellings and participants to build larger courses of action. The chapter further explains how a man with a three-word vocabulary is able to produce complex narrative by mobilizing resources provided by others. It concludes with a discussion on how communities, such as scientific professions, use quite particular kinds of narratives to build new members with the professional vision required to see and act upon the world in just the ways that define the expertise and activities of that community.
