Abstract:

This paper aims at reﬂ ecting upon journalistic narratives. The text is intended to carry out the task of reinventing the past, for the purpose of enlarging the notion one has concerning the narrative possibilities in the journalistic ﬁ eld. The relation between the process of cultural modernization and the history of formation of the journalistic discourse in Brazil somehow makes explicit the predominance of a journalistic way of narrating that has been regulated almost exclusively at a technical level. In this particular matter, learning about the journalistic discourse in its historical per

Abstract:

Narrative analysis has emerged as a central analytical force in furthering a critique of colonial discourse. This article examines the relationship between narrative and discourse, by offering a comparative analysis of indigenous narrative, in the context of Australian and Malaysian history and contemporary museum practices of representation. I argue that indigenous knowledge is underpinned by narratives that enable a radical reconceptualization of existing epistemological and philosophical practices to viewing the world. This knowledge reflects various narratives of resistance about indigenei

Abstract:

Abstract To understand the mechanisms underlying narrative persuasion, a growing body of theoretical and empirical work suggests that narratives reduce audience resistance, possibly via narrative engagement. To synthesize this research, we performed a two-part meta-analysis using three-level random-effects models. Part I focused on experimental studies that directly compared narratives and non-narratives on resistance. Based on 15 effect sizes from nine experimental studies, the overall effect size was d = −.213 (equivalent r = −.107; p &lt; .001), suggesting that narratives generated less

Abstract:

In this article, we propose ‘narrative resistance’ as a potent and useful concept for both social work research and practice. A concept that attends to power and oppression, narrative resistance provides a platform for tangible applications to support people’s efforts to resist harmful storyings of their lives. The aim of this article is to provide practical guidance for how social workers can attend to and support people’s acts of narrative resistance. This is achieved by introducing the functions of narrative in people’s lives and its inextricable links to power; discussing ‘master narrative

Abstract:

Counter-narration re-casts existing narratives and foregrounds the marginalised by giving them agency and performativity. They are narratives that challenge and provide resistance against dominant and hegemonic grand narratives which have been instrumental in formulating a social ideology over a long period of time making them normative. The Ramayana, an ancient epic is a multi-layered story of Prince Rama and Princess Sita and their role in the politics of power, state and patriarchy. It is a grand or master narrative that presupposes the passivity of the female as normative. It portrays Sita

Design/methodology/approach Situated in a semester-long inquiry group, eight k-16 educators used narrative inquiry processes (Clandinin, 1992) to write and collectively analyze (Ezzy, 2002) stories describing personal experiences that brought them to critical ELA pedagogies.

The introduction of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has resulted in a proliferation of discourse about HPV-related health risks, with a particular emphasis on the link between HPV and cervical cancer. Using a discursive narrative approach, we critically examine how young women navigate and construct their identities in relation to discourses on HPV vaccination, and the master narratives of risk, medicalization and individual responsibility for health that inform these discourses.

Abstract:

After the liberation in 1945, two conflicting narratives of the war experience were formulated. A consensus narrative presented the Danish nation as being united in resistance while a competing narrative, which also stressed the resistance of most Danes, depicted the collaborating Danish establishment as an enemy alongside the Germans. This latter narrative, formulated by members of the resistance movement, was marginalised after the war and the consensus narrative became dominant. The resistance narrative survived, however, and, from the 1960s, it was successfully retold by the left, both to

Abstract:

Daniel Defoe’s fictional autobiographies often contain a puritanical conversion narrative, but Colonel Jack’s narrator is unique in his problematized relationship to Christian conversion. Alert to the negative implications of mercenary conversion, Defoe presents in Colonel Jack a hero who not only revels in his complex ploys to evade the law, but explicitly rejects conversion to Christianity at several points in the narrative. By reading Colonel Jack alongside narratives of European enslavement and incarceration, I suggest that in this text Defoe deliberately reproduces the form of the popular

The term “counter narrative” refers to a narrative that takes on meaning through its relation with one or more other narratives.

However, resistance is also displayed through the way time dimension is conveyed in the telling of stories. Instead of assuming a single temporality the narrative analysis is based on multiple concepts of time, so called bakhtinian ‘multiple chronotopes’.

Abstract:

Abstract Narrative gerontology examines the experience of aging through life stories and other first-person accounts. Literary gerontology explores cultural narratives (e.g., novels, films) that link us to our own aging through stories of others, real or imagined. Our paper focuses on narrative constructions of vulnerability, resistance, subjectivity and agency in life stories, interviews and fictional texts (e.g., Margaret Atwood’s short story “Torching the Dusties.”) It considers how aspects of vulnerability are embedded in stories and what they reveal about the cultural construction of age

Abstract:

This paper sets out to interrogate the use of master and counter narratives in UK Parliamentary Select Committee debates surrounding the passage of the Domestic Abuse Bill (now Domestic Abuse Act 2021) in Parliament. These debates are a site that allow for the telling of counter narratives in order to challenge the narrative of the normative socio-legal position regarding domestic violence and abuse (DVA). With its roots in the patriarchy and stereotypical gender roles that foster violence and abuse, the issue with such a narrative is that it fails to recognise the complex, nuanced nature of d

Abstract:

The paper analysed the novel Koogai (2015), written by Cho. Dharman. The paper looked at the alternative discourses in the text. The paper owed theoretical framework from Nancy Fraser’s idea of counterpublic. The paper dives deeper into the text to underline the relevance of language, motifs, myths and legends to create a counter narrative against the established narrative. I have attempted to provide an insight regarding how Dalit writers interrogate the casteist public sphere to posit writing as the means of registering protest and asserting their voices.

Abstract:

This study focuses on the role of organisational setting and age in shaping individuals' narratives of embodied selfhood. It compares older and younger women's use of ‘narrative resistance’ to negotiate identity in light of their ageing and the negative social and personal meanings of being fat. Cordell and Ronai (1999) observed three types of narrative resistance among overweight people: loopholes, exemplars and continuums. This paper identifies two others: ‘justifications’, for behaviour that associated with weight gain, and ‘repentance’, for behaviour that reaffirmed a commitment to losing

Abstract:

This article explores the potential of enhancing the narrative capacity of verbal art through its convergence with the expressive nature of the musical genre of the requiem. Based on Zaira Arsenishvili’s novel Requiem, the author develops an interdisciplinary research methodology. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of the chronotope, the study introduces the notion of the «musical chronotope» as a key analytical tool for examining the novel’s form and structure. The article demonstrates how the worldview inherent in the requiem genre shapes every level of the text—from its thematic core to i

Abstract:

The 2017 inauguration of a statue in Lisbon, Portugal, to the seventeenth-century Jesuit missionary in colonial Brazil, Father António Vieira, offers an opportunity to discuss history writing as a narrative genre. The statue epitomizes the naturalization of Portugal’s imperial narrative genres of history writing, instantiating their recapitulation into the future. Vieira’s statue exposes how colonial mythologies constitute a narrative of power premised on the erasure of colonial resistance. These dynamics, I argue, are intrinsic to the history of history writing. They arch back to a panegyric

This paper explores some aspects of the socio-biography of the Turkish writer Elif Şafak, who made substantial changes to Baba ve Piç, the Turkish translation of her novel The Bastard of Istanbul. Arguing that Şafak’s habitus has a considerable influence on her style in Baba ve Piç, the paper focuses on Şafak’s incorporation of Ottoman Turkish words into the Turkish translation in order to show that the addition of these words frames the Turkish translation within the broader narrative of language planning in Turkey. Ultimately, the study argues that the concept of habitus and the concept of n

Abstract:

Rebirth narratives, as a unique literary phenomenon, have recently garnered significant attention in literary studies both domestically and internationally. Through protagonists’ rebirth experiences, these novels explore themes of identity reconstruction and life re-exploration, conveying profound reflections on the meaning of life and aspirations for the future. Compared to their male-targeted counterparts, female-centric rebirth novels tend to defy stereotypes, challenging gendered identities and conventional perceptions. By employing varied temporal, thematic, and character constructs, thes

Abstract:

The novels of Aravind Adiga exhibit the influence of spatial narratives in modern literature while dealing with socio-political, socio-cultural and the psyche of contemporary society. Adiga blends geographical spaces, social spaces, and ideational spaces in his narrative to encounter oppression, class struggle, corruption, and moral dilemmas alongside the human condition in global discourse. Adiga uses distinctive spatial narrative in all three novels, The White Tiger, Last Man in Tower, and Selection Day, to showcase the different dynamics of this. The spatial analysis shows the transformativ

AbstractTheAgricolahas long been a popular object of study for the connection that it makes between the British narrative of resistance against Roman domination and the Roman narrative of resistance against imperial domination. However, no agreement has been reached on the question of how exactly the two narratives ‘affect’ each other. Simultaneously, while it has often been remarked that Tacitus’ language is inherently metaphorical, there have been curiously few studies devoted to Tacitean metaphor. Based on the theory of conceptual metaphor promoted by George Lakoff, this article takes the m

Narratives are an integral part of every culture and narrative exposure serves not only therapeutic purposes but also a social and political agenda (Schauer et al., 2005). This paper will focus on the second aim – using Narrative Analysis to inform and raise awareness of the experiences of child soldiers in northern Uganda. The children involved in this study range in age from 13 to 17 years (M=15.25) and spent from 12 to 108 months (M=48) with the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army.
