Zusammenfassung	Queer methodology is less a fixed technique than a critical stance toward research that disrupts taken-for-granted categories of sex, gender, and sexuality and resists the assumption that identities are stable, knowable, and countable. Articulated for the social sciences in Kath Browne and Catherine Nash's Queer Methods and Methodologies (2010) and prefigured in Jack Halberstam's notion of a 'scavenger' methodology, it asks not 'what is the right method?' but 'how does research itself reproduce normativity?' — and licenses researchers to borrow and combine methods rhizomatically in order to attend to fluidity, ambiguity, and the very production of the normal.	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.
