Muhtasari	Field-based discourse analysis integrates Pierre Bourdieu's sociological concept of the field — a structured social space of positions, capital, and struggle — with the close textual methods of discourse analysis. Rather than treating language as a neutral medium, it examines how discourse is produced, circulated, and received within specific social fields (education, law, journalism, science, etc.), and how discursive choices reflect and reproduce the distribution of power and capital within those fields.	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.
