DESCRIPTION:CTIS Research Seminar 2\n'Let me tell you a story': story-tel
 ling as a tool for claiming trustworthiness in organisational settings\n
 \nNarratives are primary means of constructing identity and research has
  shown that they can be powerful resources for teams that have worked to
 gether for a long time (Holmes and Stubbe\, 2003). This paper reports on
  a completed project investigating trust in business partnerships and sh
 ows how narratives can be turned into local resources for doing trust. T
 he project has an ethnographic character. The data include 56 hours of s
 emi-structured ethnographic interviews with business partners from seven
  SMEs and audio and video recordings of natural interaction including fo
 rmal meetings\, dinners\, visits and everyday talk. The data were analys
 ed from an interactional sociolinguistic perspective\, drawing on narrat
 ive analysis. The findings of the project suggest that there are specifi
 c set of stories that keep coming back in different instances from parti
 cipants. These stories draw on the partners’ shared past and illustrate 
 critical moments of their relationship. Partners are familiar with these
  stories and seem to include them in their everyday talk when they are a
 ll together. By doing this\, they claim abidance to the group’s norms an
 d rules\, and express their affinity and emotions towards their partners
 . All these then add to their perceived trustworthiness. Given that diff
 erent workplaces develop their own ways of doing things (Angouri\, 2012)
 \, I consider these stories as local resources for doing trust in the gi
 ven context. In this presentation I will present a set of narratives tha
 t seem to be significant for partners’ relationships and demonstrate how
  these recur across data sets and participants and contribute to sustain
  interpersonal relationships and trust.  \n
