Abstract
This paper focusses on a single storytelling event in conversation. No coherent analysis is attempted. Rather, various theoretical, methodological, and analytic issues are raised by reference to items which happen to occur in this particular storytelling. Included are discussions of elements of story organization, the independence of perceived events and story structure, and the differential organization of the sheer perceiving of an event.
Notes
- Edited extracts from Sacks’ unpublished lectures, Winter 1970. (Lectures 1 and 2.)
Editors’ introduction The following article by Harvey Sacks has a special status among the contribu- tions to this issue. The author was killed in a car accident in 1975. He can be said to have founded the sociological field of conversation analysis. His work has inspired not only his immediate collaborators but has been of major influence for the development of neighboring disciplines such as linguistics, anthropology or cognitive science. One of the most important sources of this remarkable impact are Sacks’ unpublished lectures, which are only available in the form of mimeographed transcriptions of the taped lectures. Gail Jefferson, a collaborator of Sacks’ and one of the most creative representatives of conversation analysis is editing these lectures, preparing them for publication by transforming the oral lectures into a written text which is as close to the original as possible. When we had the chance to include the following edition of a lecture on stories in conversation in our volume, we did not hesitate to accept it, although naturally - unlike the other contributions - it has not been written for the purposes of this volume. Its outstanding quality as a prototypi- cal example of the interactive approach to narrative analysis, which appears in the methodological discussions of practically all the other contributions made this decision very easy.
