The "Unfinished Story": Narratively Analyzing Collective Action Frames in Social Movements

The University of British Columbia

In this article, the author proposes the "unfinished story" as an interesting and useful narrative-based method for understanding the processes of constructing collective action frames in social movements based on his research in the Walpole Island First Nation. A medium that works within a narrative structure, the "unfinished story" provides insight into how interpretive devices embody a radically self-reflexive identity the author calls the Ecological Native. He discusses the steps involved and some influential experiences in the field. More radical next steps are discussed in the concluding section.

Key Words: intersubjectivity • collective action frames • ecological Native
