Sintesi	Multiple case-based metaphor analysis is a qualitative comparative method that systematically identifies and interprets metaphorical language across two or more bounded cases — such as schools, organisations, or participant groups — to reveal how people in different contexts conceptualise a shared phenomenon. It integrates Lakoff and Johnson's conceptual metaphor theory with Yin's multiple-case logic, enabling both within-case depth and cross-case breadth.	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.
