Description
Understanding human stories and their impact is a rich area of research. This book offers a framework for studying social narratives, exploring how people construct and shape their perceptions, identities, and beliefs. Shaul R. Shenhav provides an introduction to narratology, a methodologically grounded approach that can be applied to various contexts. The book builds on familiar concepts from literary studies, adding the concept of multiplicity to understand how social narratives become influential. By examining text, story, narration, and multiplicity, readers can gain insight into the ways in which people create and share stories that shape their societies. This book is designed as a starting point for students of the social sciences, providing a clear and systematic approach to narratology. It raises important questions about the ethics and values underlying narrative research, making it an ideal resource for those looking to explore this field.
