Introductory concepts Understanding Heroism: Transdisciplinary Perspectives -

- The politics of heroes through the prism of popular heroism -
Constructing a heroic self
- Narrative analysis: exploring the whats and hows of personal stories -
- PRECARIOUSNESS OF EVERYDAY HEROISM. A BIOGRAPHICAL APPROACH TO LIFE POLITICS - "Aspects of everyday heroism are discussed as precarious, sometimes almost invisible and unnoticed processes. In deeds that result in everyday heroism one cannot consciously operate in egocentric ways to produce a self-reflective hero. An attempt is made here to reach the precariousness of everyday heroism by contemplating difficulties in narrating such heroism. How to tell about turning unselfishly towards an Other? The moral processes of being for are ambivalent and embarrassing experiences for the Self as the author of an autobiography" - might be relevant if you end up using case studies of emergency workers etc.
