Table III.

A description of the three-leveled Ricoeur inspired interpretation of the coherent data material from both participant observation and interviews.

Based on the theory of interpretation by Ricoeur, (Ricoeur, 1976) and additional methodological reflections (Pedersen, 1999; Dreyer & Pedersen 2009; Simonÿ et al., 2018) the interpretation can be seen as a dialectical movement between the three levels in this table. The arrows indicate how there is a movement back and forth between the levels in the interpretation.
