Description

Narrating Unemployment explores how individuals construct meaning from job loss through the stories they tell about their experience. Drawing on narrative theory in sociology and psychology, this Routledge book demonstrates that responses to unemployment emerge from both personal creativity and the structuring effects of social location. Based on qualitative research into unemployment experiences in Australia, the work identifies three main types of job loss narratives, beginning with romantic narratives that frame job loss as liberation from oppressive work and a pathway toward gradual improvement. This analytical framework reveals how narrative shape influences psychological and social outcomes, making it essential reading for scholars of sociology, psychology, labour studies and social policy. The book bridges individual agency and structural constraint, showing how people use storytelling to process major life transitions and construct identity after employment disruption.
