This page provides a public reference page for a working paper by Finbarre Snarey on aleatory intervention, narrative control and qualitative interviewing.
Summary
Piercing the PR Shield explores how chance-based prompts can be used in interview practice to interrupt rehearsed publicity narratives and open more reflective, less controlled forms of conversation.
The paper connects directly to the interview methods used in Tarot Interviews and Tarot DMs, where tarot cards function as structured prompts for creative, cultural and narrative inquiry.
