Zusammenfassung	Critical hermeneutic analysis combines interpretive hermeneutics with critical social theory to read texts and discourse not only for meaning but for embedded power relations, ideological distortions, and structures of domination. Originating in Habermas's critique of Gadamer and developed further by Ricoeur's hermeneutics of suspicion, the method asks both 'what does this text mean?' and 'whose interests does this meaning serve?'. It is widely used in education, social work, policy research, and health humanities.	Narrative analysis is a qualitative research method, synthesised canonically by Catherine Kohler Riessman (2008), that examines how individuals storise their lived experiences and construct meaning through the telling. Drawing on life history, biographical, and narrative inquiry traditions, it treats the story itself — not just its content — as the unit of analysis, attending to temporal sequence, plot structure, and the social context in which a narrative is produced.
