Opis

Discourse dominates the way we relate to each other and to the world. Today, the barriers that had traditionally confined its study to the specialized field of literature and linguistics have been breached. Even where we least expect it, we can now see that storytelling is going on, and the implications of this are vast. A casebook for specialists, Narrative in Culture is also intended as an introduction for general readers to the increasing number of ways in which scholars and practitioners in many fields are questioning how we speak and write, and identifying the secret unexpected patterns and assumptions beneath the surface of our thinking.
