Dear All Here are some notes on the issue of deriving case structures and summaries. It's quite a tricky subject so hopefully others will have things to add. I have added a paper I gave at Goettingen in July since many of the references are the same, and some of the issues overlap. it's called 'Intersubjectivity in biographical methods: mirroring and enactment in an organsational study'.
