Abstract

The ways in which interactional details and roles enacted by participants in relation to the ongoing production of a story connect with larger roles and identities have not been at the center of the problematics of identity construction in narrative. In an at- tempt to redress the balance, this article uses a broad definition of the conversation- analytic concept of discourse identities and takes into account the ethnography of its data to explore the discourse identities management in the course of a conversa- tional tale of tomorrow constructed by 3 Greek female adolescents. Stories of pro- jected events, along with stories of shared events, form the specific group’s main narrative practices. I show that the joint construction of the story at hand rests on the participants’ enactment of a set of discourse identities that are intertwined with the story’s emerging internal structure, particularly the components of complicating ac- tion and evaluation. These identities are interrelated to the participants’ larger social roles and identities as friends and members of a close-knit group who share an interactional history.
