Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to propose a more balanced approach in the conceptualizing of identity in the poststructuralist paradigm. Using gathered data, the study also offered a unique perspective on the intricate interplay in which learner identity and researcher identity are negotiated. A narrative analysis model is presented to offer transparency to the analytic process in narrative studies, and calls for a reflexive approach that is context-sensitive to the co-construction of interview interaction between the participant and the researcher. The use of ‘reflexive notes' at various stages of the research process is shown as a forceful vehicle that allows researchers to make explicit their assumptions, and evaluate how it shapes the interview interaction. In addition to the aim of the research, the study demonstrates how methodological choices, interests, subjectivities, and identities are intricately intertwined to influence the entire research process.
