  15. How does the construction of identity take place? • in microgenesis • consisting of moment-by-moment changes • in these changes selves and identities are in the making (‘emergence’ or ‘genesis’) • interactive processes as the site where these changes (genesis) takes place • interactive processes as the site where the emergence of sense of self is analyzable

  16. microanalysis inquiry into ‘moment-by-moment changes’ - by means of fine-grained and highly con-textual micro-analysis ---of how meaning comes to existence in moment-by-moment (inter-)actions ---and small stories as the sites where these changes take place

  17. positioning • speakers creating order in the story and in the telling situation – indexing ‘who they are’ (story-tellers as positioning themselves)  level 1 : <order in the story – characters are positioned in the there + then viz others>  level 2 <order in the telling situation – participants position themselves in the here + now>  level 3 <order for my ‘sense of self’ – positioning viz “master narratives” - working toward a sense of self/identity>
