NARRATIVE

CONCEPT: WHAT IS IT?

Narrative* can be defined as the linear telling of a sequence of events. In our human family, telling stories is the universal way that we both communicate with one another and the way we make sense of our internal and external worlds. Making sense* is a process* of sorting through memory*, here-and-now experience, and imagination such that we create a coherent* picture of the essence of what is occurring in our lives. Making sense can be seen as an integrative* process, linking* past, present, and potential future in a way that enables these elements of thought, feeling, memory, and imagination to situate us in a social world of experience. Narrative is integrative from the inside out, bringing an inner sense of clarity and linking us to other people now, and even across time, through the recorded stories that shape our collections of books and videos and that fill our libraries and theaters with the continual unfolding of human drama.
