Studying narrative flows by Text Analysis and Network Text Analysis. The case study of Italian young people’s perception of work in digital context

The paper presents a joint use of text analysis and network text analysis in order to study the narrations. Text analysis allows to detect the main themes subjects in the narrations and hence the processes of signification, network text analysis permits to track down the relations between linguistic expressions of text, identifying, therefore, the path of flow of thoughts. Using jointly the two methods is possible not only to explore the content of narrations, but starting from the words and concepts with higher semantic strength, also to identify the processes of signification. To this purpose, we will present a research aiming to understand high school students’ perception of employment precariousness in Italy.
