Description
Narrative Power: The Struggle for Human Value by Ken Plummer explores how narratives shape and are shaped by power. This provocative study examines the impact of transformative narrative actions across various media forms, particularly in the face of modern crises such as deep inequalities, global complexities, digital risks, and the pursuit of truth. The book advocates for a new agenda that combines narrative hope, wisdom, and politics to build sustainable stories for a better future. Plummer discusses innovative ideas and concepts, offering novel directions for research and action. By understanding how narratives regulate and empower us, we can cultivate a more nuanced approach to power and its relationship with storytelling. This book is an original exploration of the complex dynamics between narrative power and human value, shedding light on the ways in which stories shape our world and ourselves.
