ABSTRACT

Antenarrative is defined as nonlinear, incoherent, collective, unplotted, and prenarrative speculation, a bet a proper narrative can be constituted (Boje, 2001, 2008). Antenarrative analysis is the analysis of stories “… that are too unconstructed and fragmented to be analyzed in traditional approaches” (Boje, 2001, p. 1). Story is before—‘ante’—narrative. To emphasize story instead of narrative means to uphold the unfinished and open character of interpretations.
