Abstract

In the past few decades, narrative has become one of the hottest buzzwords of the social sciences. Consistently overlooked or undertheorized, however, are what the author has termed “used-to” stories, a type of generalized experience narrative that mediates a specific and habitual event. This article explores the used-to story as part of a narrative continuum that offers not only a new model for identifying and interpreting narrative, but a new model for ethnographic writing.
