Abstract

Communicative competence Methodology Narrative reality Participatory action research Health committees Facts
Given there is no escape from narratives, the focus of research should be world entry. And as is noted earlier in this book, this process is different from the discovery of facts. Whereas traditionally facts are presumed to be objective and thus obtrusive and often associated with empirical referents, narratives are more elusive but available for consultation (Engel 1987). Narratives, however, must be coaxed into the open.
