The paper explores strategic communications in Ukraine's media space. Strategic communications as a system of multi-vector interaction with society have proven to be connected with a range of relevant and socially important issues, acting as the most effective technology in building the information defence amid intense hybrid aggression and ensuring the country's cognitive resilience. Typical anti-Ukrainian narratives undermine the main political reference points and affect the society's cognitive stability. The analysis of narrative realizations confirms that anti-Ukrainian narratives belong to post-truth. These narratives reflect the chaotization of world image: irrationality, emotionality, evaluation, expressiveness, and persuasiveness replace objectivity and rationality. The study determines the main features of strategic narratives and establishes the grand narrative in the strategic communications system. The paper claims a "battle of narratives" representing a struggle of different behavioural models exists in Ukraine's media space. All anti-Ukrainian narratives undermine the central Ukrainian narrative (or grand narrative), the identity narrative, while the majority of pro-Ukrainian narratives promote the idea of the Ukrainian people as a nation. An effective strategic narrative inevitably engenders a counter-narrative that aims at deconstructing or delegitimizing the previous narrative's (or its variants') effect on the target audience. A counter-narrative creation mechanism does not entail symmetry; its objective is to reprogram the call to action and block the recipients' motivational potential.

Sob a perspectiva da corrente dos estudos narrativos associada ao jornalismo, a pesquisa busca problematizar os processos comunicativos, as estratégias argumentativas e os efeitos que inserem um sentido de resistência nas narrativas. O estudo analisa nove reportagens no período de 2017 a 2020 sobre a região amazônica por meio do método da análise crítica da narrativa (Motta, 2013) em conjunto com a análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2011). Os resultados mostram que as reportagens utilizam recursos narrativos que evidenciam a identificação pessoal jornalística com temas e fontes, o que fundamenta o jornalismo ativista. ABSTRACT – This article investigates the characteristics of activist journalism present in the narratives about the Amazon by journalist Eliane Brum, published on the website El País Brasil, between 2017 and 2020. From the perspective of the current of narrative studies associated with journalism, the research seeks to problematize the processes communicative, argumentative strategies and the effects that insert a sense of resistance in the narratives. The study analyzes nine reports from 2017 to 2020 about the Amazon region using the critical narrative analysis method (Motta, 2013) in conjunction with content analysis (Bardin, 2011). The results show that the reports use narrative resources that show journalistic personal identification with themes and sources, which underlies activist journalism.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractDeath and futility are among a cluster of themes that closely track discussions of life's meaning. Moreover, futility is thought to supervene on naturalistic meta-narratives because of how they will end. While the nature of naturalistic meta-narrative endings is part of the explanation for concluding that such meta-narratives are cosmically or deeply futile, this explanation is truncated. I argue that the reason the nature of the ending is thought to be normatively important is first anchored in the fact that narrative ending qua ending is thought to be normatively important. Indeed, I think futility is often thought to characterize naturalistic meta-narratives because a narrative's ending has significant proleptic power to elicit a wide range of broadly normative human responses on, possibly, emotional, aesthetic, and moral levels towards the narrative as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
Myths, epics, and tales have survived for centuries in the oral expression tradition and have been permanently transcribed from oral tradition into written form. They are the most frequently recreated narratives in the cinema with their fantastic narrative structures. Hollywood cinema has been using tales as visual narratives for years. Tales, which have been turned into a structure open to the interpretation in accordance with the changing world, on the one hand is being reediting continuously. On the other hand, they gain new appearances along with intertwined narrative structures. In Into the Woods (Rob Marshall, 2014), four different fairy tales were used together. In this study, it is aimed to determine what kind of changes has been carried out in the film in terms of the different stages of the fairy tales. For this purpose, while collecting the data by examining the narrative structure of the fairy tales, the action areas are identified in terms of the “five components” in the Greimas’ ‘canonical narrative’. Briefly, the main object in this paper is to explicate the status of the film within the types of the cinematic narratives.

ResuméArtiklen omhandler et toårigt forskningsprojekt på VIA Pædagoguddannelse om klubpædagogisk professionsidentitet. I forskningsprojektet er der udført 11 kvalitative semistrukturerede interviews. Ud fra interviewene konstruerer vi analytisk tre dominerende narrativer: klubpædagogen som demokratisk medborgerskaber, frihedens klubpædagog og klubpædagogen som sælger. Ud fra narrativerne præsenterer vi tre større historisk og kulturelt forankrede nøglefortællinger om klubpædagogisk professionsidentitet. De to første narrativer indeholder nøglefortællinger om demokrati og frihed, der trækker på klassisk reformpædagogik og kritisk frigørende pædagogik. Heroverfor indeholder narrativet pædagogen som sælger en historisk nyere nøglefortælling om markedsgørelse. Vi betragter mødet mellem nøglefortællingerne som en mere overordnet fortælling om klubpædagogisk professionsidentitet mellem tradition og forandring. Afslutningsvis diskuterer vi, hvilke udfordringer og muligheder mødet mellem nøglefortællingerne, nærmere bestemt mødet mellem demokrati og frihed på den ene side og markedsgørelse på den anden, potentielt kan indeholde i forhold til klubpædagogisk professionsidentitet og omverdenens anerkendelse. På den ene side kan markedsgørelsen tolkes som risiko for dekonstruktion af klubpædagogisk professionsidentitet, der vil kunne udhule nøglefortællingerne om demokrati og frihed. På den anden side kan der argumenteres for, at netop nøglefortællingen om markedsgørelsen kan tolkes som mulighed for at styrke de to andre nøglefortællinger og at den sigt vil kunne bidrage til stabilisering og anerkendelse af klubpædagogisk professionsidentitet.
AbstractLeisure time pedagogue working in youth clubs: between democracy, freedom and marketing? Three key narratives in professional identity of leisure time pedagogues working in youth clubsIn this article, we present the results of a research project about the professional identity of leisure time pedagogue working in different forms of youth clubs with children and teenagers from 10 to 18+ years of age. We base the analysis on 11 qualitative semi-structured interviews. Through the analysis, we construct three key narratives: a key narrative concerning democracy, a key narrative concerning freedom and a key narrative concerning marketing (sale). We use these three key narratives to illustrate the complexity of the professional identity of the leisure time pedagogue. Both tradition and renewal characterizes the professional identity of the leisure time pedagogues. In the final section, we discuss the encounter between the key narratives of democracy and freedom on the one hand and the key narrative of marketing on the other. What are the possible pitfalls and potentials in this encounter, when the pedagogues strives for the acknowledgement and acceptance of professional identity?

Full textAbstract:
Society is a self-producing entity, which creates and recreates itself in frames of existing collective consciousness. Collective framesoperate like social matrices and influence importantly the formation of images about the past. In order to recreate itself, a societyneeds a special point of reference. The production of discourses is a fundamental way to preserve mnemonic communities and transmit means for value systems’ formation. Discourses represent a generalized sum representing specific and frame-narratives, which is based on the prior guiding values and those beliefs and ideas the society has about itself. It is noteworthy to mention that society assesses itself, as well as other societies and events according to those beliefs and ideas. The subject of this study is Georgian and Abkhazian discourses that these two conflict-torn societies have about 1992-1993 years armed conflict. The research is based on an analysis of biographical- narrative interviews given by the witnesses of the war and person directly involved in combat. The analysis of the Georgian and Abkhaz narratives is paramount especially for two reasons: 1) narratives allow for the possibility for reconstruction of the past and 2) narratives shape the collective imaginations about the future and describe the degree of invariability or variability of a societal value system through the time continuum. National narratives represent a fundamental aspect of national identity and provide a group with fundamental ideas about its past and its role and mission in the world.Narratives highly influence the formation of interpretative and the attitudinal mindset of the individuals. Also, they affect reflective processes, which influence individual cognitive-emotional system and is reflected in the narrations. The research demonstrates the mainstream, therefore the most influential, central narrative models about 1992-1993 Georgian-Abkhaz conflict. Besides, this study underlines the implications of side-narrative models, which are the branches produced on the ground of central narrative templates.This research examines Georgian and Abkhaz biographical narrative interviews, particularly, the textual representations of theseinterviews, that is, in interview transcripts. Methodological approach of narrative analysis opens the window of opportunity foridentifying and defining what sort of discourses exist in Abkhaz, as well as in Georgian societies about the conflict. Based on interview analyses, this study demonstrates narrative constructing elements (the four-component structure of narratives), the leading and produced narratives about the 1992-1993 Georgian-Abkhaz armed conflict are reflected in the Georgian and Abkhaz mnemonic communities, which is the representation of chosen trauma in Abkhazian narratives and what is the importance given to the narrations about “victimhood” in the creation of group identity.

O presente artigo apresenta uma análise sobre o processo de construção da identidade profissional docente de licenciandos em Geografia, a partir de uma investigação (auto)biográfica realizada com estudantes de disciplinas da formação inicial na área, em uma universidade pública do Paraná. Para a pesquisa, realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica, sobre o tema da formação da identidade de professores de Geografia, utilizando o método de narrativas (auto)biográficas. O método empregado na pesquisa, articulou as narrativas escritas e orais de estudantes em seu percurso de estudos, à proposta de pesquisa-formação, adotando os procedimentos da escrita de Diários narrativos dos estagiários, buscando compreender as experiências vivenciadas nas disciplinas de Prática de docência, no curso de Geografia. As reflexões sobre as narrativas escritas possibilitaram que os estudantes olhassem para si e para o outro, durante os processos de preparação e experiências nas atividades de estágio de docência em Geografia, considerando suas percepções, experiências e reflexões necessárias à docência nesta área. Observou-se que a liberdade de expressão, a partir dos relatos escritos nos Diários narrativos, e nos relatos de Rodas de conversa ao final da pesquisa, possibilitaram um maior protagonismo dos estudantes, ao construir processos de auto análise, autonomia e autoformação, como elementos que dão suporte à constituição da identidade profissional docente na área de Geografia.

(Auto)Biographycal narrative and professional identity in Geography: the contributions of a narrative diary Abstract The present article presents an analysis of the professional Geography teaching, according to an investigation done with the formal students of the area, at a public university in Paraná. For the research, it has been done a biographic review about the graduation of the Geography professors’ identity, using the method of (auto)biographical narratives. The method used in the research, articulated the written and oral narratives of students in their study path, to the research-training proposal, adopting the procedures of writing narrative diaries of interns, seeking to understand the experiences lived in the teaching practice disciplines, in the Geography course. Reflections on the written narratives allowed students to look at themselves and at others, during the preparation processes and experiences in teaching internship activities in Geography, considering their perceptions, experiences and reflections necessary for teaching in this area. It was observed that freedom of expression, based on the reports written in the narrative diaries, and in the reports of Conversation Circles at the end of the research, enabled a greater protagonism of the students, by building processes of self-analysis, autonomy and self-education, as elements that support the constitution of the teaching professional identity in the area of Geography.

Nesse percurso, escolhemos as narrativas enquanto método e fenômeno a ser estudado. Constituímos diários de formação, produzidos pelas cinco participantes e por mim, e as entrevistas narrativas realizadas, como textos de campo. O processo de análise realizado se deu por meio da análise narrativa. As narrativas produzidas revelaram algumas dificuldades conceituais sobre a matemática e o processo de alfabetização matemática. Ao longo dos encontros, percebemos que as diferentes estratégias formativas propostas contribuíram para repensar essas crenças e ressignificar essas marcas negativas e as dificuldades que apresentaram.Palavras-chave: Alfabetização Matemática.

AbstractThis article is an excerpt from a PhD, the result of a narrative research, and aims to investigate what the narratives of students in the Pedagogy course at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) reveal, built during two meetings of the discipline “Mathematics: Contents and their teaching ”, On playfulness, teaching mathematics in the literacy cycle and becoming a teacher who will teach mathematics in the early years. Along this path, we chose narratives as a method and phenomenon to be studied. We constituted the training diaries, produced by the 05 participants and mine, and the narrative interviews carried out, as field texts. The analysis process carried out took place through narrative analysis. The narratives produced revealed some conceptual difficulties about mathematics and the mathematical literacy process. Throughout the meetings, we realized that the different training strategies proposed contributed to rethink these beliefs and reframe these negative marks and the difficulties they presented.

Abstract Explanations in the natural historical sciences often take the form of stories. This paper examines two accounts of the sources of narrative’s explanatory power: Beatty’s suggestion that narrative explanation is closely connected to historical contingency, and that narratives explain by contrasting what happened with what might have happened; and Ereshefsky and Turner’s view that narratives explain by organizing events around a central subject with a distinctive direction of historical development. In both accounts, it turns out that non-epistemic values typically play a role in the construction of narrative, and hence contribute to narrative’s explanatory force. Two case studies from historical science – the plate tectonic story of the Avalonian terrane, and the story of the evolution of trichromatic vision in (some) mammals – help to motivate and illustrate this argument.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract An ungendered narrative is a work of fiction where the gender of one or more characters remains undisclosed throughout the entire work or a significant portion of it. This lack of gender results in the deconstruction of gender, and the narrative transcends a fixed gender binary. This paper discusses the importance given to characters’ gender in the history of literature as well as the ungendered narrative’s attempt to change this importance by not gendering the characters. In addition, this paper identifies the attributes common to the select ungendered narratives, that is, how ungendered narratives are written (including the stylistic and thematic features authors employ), that may help determine whether a work of literature can be called an ungendered narrative. The ungendered narrative highlights the insignificance of gender in fiction and real life, imploring readers to stop casting judgments based on gender and sexuality, which can lead to violence, trauma, ostracism, and abandonment. This narrative’s strength calls for additional such works, and this paper provides a framework for authors who intend to create them.

AbstractA narrative understanding of clients is needed to supplement traditionally developed research for making clinical judgments about which approaches should be used in working with older adults. Narrative biographical knowledge of clients integrates the historical events and happenings of their lives with the social and cultural contexts through which they attribute meaning to their distresses and symptoms. Applications based on narrative knowledge differ from those based on the conventional model. The conventional model draws on general knowledge of what interventions are likely to be effective in treating particular diagnoses. Narrative understanding is concerned in knowing the configuration of past events and present tasks that compose individual lives. Expert practitioners make use of a narrative understanding of their clients in judging their intervention activities. Development of a narrative understanding of present clients can be assisted by consulting narratives of clients with whom a practitioner has previously worked. Narratives are remembered as stories, retaining the patterns and details of the individual clients’ lives. Through experience, practitioners develop a collection of remembered narratives of the clients they have assisted. A practitioner's experiential collection of narratively known clients can be supplemented with narrative biographies and case studies of clients treated by other practitioners. When working with a new client, practitioners can draw on these narratively retained past understandings by comparing the similarities and differences of their present client to a remembered past client. The process of comparison with past narratively understood clients helps the practitioner compose a new narrative that expressly captures the individual life of the present client. This narrative understanding of the client provides an integrated view of the influence of general social and biological contexts with the unique values, aims, and history of the client.

Drawing on interviews I conducted with women about their sisters, I identify three narrative types: small-n narratives, big-N Narratives and Master Narratives. Small-n narratives are accounts of specific events or interactions that speakers said had occurred with their sisters. Big-N Narratives are the themes speakers developed in telling me about their sisters, and in support of which they told the small-n narratives. Master Narratives are culture-wide ideologies shaping the big-N Narratives. In my sister interviews, an unstated Master Narrative is the assumption that sisters are expected to be close and similar. This Master Narrative explains why nearly all the American women I interviewed organized their discourse around big-N Narratives by which they told me whether, how and why they are close to their sisters or not, and whether, how and why they and their sisters are similar or different. In exploring the interrelationship among these three narrative types, I examine closely the small-n narratives told by two women, with particular attention to the ways that the involvement strategies repetition, dialogue, and details work together to create scenes. Scenes, moreover, anchor the small-n narratives, helping them support the big-N Narratives which are motivated in turn by the culturally-driven Master Narrative.

Our study examines collective identity development in the early stages of a social movement as it narratively unfolded on Twitter during the 2019 October revolution in Lebanon. Based on a sample extraction of Twitter content from the first month of the revolution and using both thematic and narrative analyses, our study uncovers an entangled temporality where past, present and future strands of narrative time intervene in online identity narratives. Disentangling these digital narratives enabled us to identify three temporal-thematic categories that outline the contours of the emergent online identity: a revisited narrative past evoking collective nostalgia, a disruptive narrative present creating an urgent “presence in the now,” and a prefigurative narrative future that allows online members to collectively re-imagine and co-create their collective selfhood. Taken together, these findings support better understandings of collective identity emergence in digitally-mediated social movements in three different ways. First, building on the organizational literature on temporality in collective identity formation, we highlight how temporal narratives online support and accelerate a nascent collective identity through their immediacy and global reach. Second, by approaching narrated time theoretically and not chronologically, we address recent calls that challenge linear temporal narratives. We highlight how entangled temporality contributes to the emergence of a social movement’s online collective identity. Ultimately, from a methodological perspective, we offer an approach for “disentangling” digital temporality and propose (ante)narrative theory as a useful interpretive lens for better apprehending identity-relevant social media content.

The aim of this research was to investigate the extent to which psychological factors interfere with conscious rational problem-solving in constructing a cinematic narrative’s causal connections during film viewing. Talk-aloud protocol was used to record subjects’ verbal reactions during watching films. Viewers’ texts were analyzed to determine the type and the quantity of causal inferences. This enabled us to determine which parts of the narratives provoked high matching of causal inferences. The results demonstrate recurring correlation between causal thinking and the personality trait openness to experience. In the second study, classical and nonclassical types of narrative were compared in terms of provoking causal inferences. The results demonstrate that classical narrative provokes significantly more causal inferences than nonclassical narrative, and that classical and nonclassical narratives rely equally on personality traits in causal construction.

Full textAbstract:
There is a rich tradition of studying narratives in the fields of communication and language at work. Our purpose is to review two approaches to narrative-counter-narrative dynamics. The first is ‘storytelling organization theory’ (SOT), which interplays western retrospective-narrative ways of knowing with more indigenous ways of knowing called ‘living stories’, ‘pre-narrative’ and ‘pre-story’, and the prospective-‘antenarrative’ practices. The second is the communication as constitutive of organization (CCO) approach to narrative-counter-narrative. Both SOT and CCO deconstruct dominant narratives about communication and language at work. Both theories revisit, challenge, and to some extent cultivate counter-narratives. SOT seeks to go beyond and beneath the narrative-counter-narrative ‘dialectic’ in an antenarrative approach. CCO pursues counter-narratives as a useful tool to make tensions within and between organizations and society, salient as they may contest or negotiate dominant narratives, which hinder the organization from benefitting from less powerful counter-narratives.

ABSTRACT – In this paper, we study representations of catastrophe victims in two contemporary journalistic narratives in Brazil: Todo dia a mesma noite by Daniela Arbex and Tragédia em Mariana by Cristina Serra. We first study the meaning and uses of the word victim to describe the types of victims in the narratives. Our analysis of both narratives focuses on the victims. We aim to understand how the storytelling in each narrative develops the victims’ stories. The results of the analysis point to different narrative projects and, as a result, to different ethical positions regarding the representation of victims. Arbex’s work focuses on trauma as an emotional nucleus which all characters (and possibly the reader) suffer from. Investigating the catastrophe is the main focus in Serra’s work, with the stories of those who died told through the memory of those who survive them, who seek justice, and who look to rebuild their lives.RESUMO – Neste trabalho, investigamos representações de vítimas de catástrofes em duas narrativas jornalísticas brasileiras contemporâneas: Todo dia a mesma noite, de Daniela Arbex, e Tragédia em Mariana, de Cristina Serra. Recuperamos, inicialmente, o significado e usos da palavra vítima para uma descrição dos tipos presentes nas narrativas. Analisamos, a seguir, as obras com ênfase na categoria da vítima, personagem que constitui a face humana do acontecimento. Objetivamos compreender como, em cada narrativa, as vidas afetadas são colocadas em enredo. Os resultados da análise apontam para projetos narrativos distintos e, por seguinte, de posições éticas também distintas acerca da representação das vítimas. A obra de Arbex reitera o trauma como núcleo dramático, que fixa as personagens (e possivelmente o leitor) no sofrimento; a de Serra atua investigativamente sobre a catástrofe, com a recuperação das histórias dos que morreram por meio da memória dos sobreviventes, que, em movimento, buscam justiça e reconstruir caminhos.RESUMEN – En este trabajo investigamos representaciones de víctimas de catástrofes en dos narrativas periodísticas brasileñas contemporáneas: Todo dia a mesma noite, de Daniela Arbex, y Tragédia em Mariana, de Cristina Serra.

Analizamos las narrativas con énfasis en la categoría víctima, personaje que constituyó el rostro humano de los reportajes.

La obra de Arbex reitera el trauma como núcleo dramático, que fija los personajes (y posiblemente el lector) in el sufrimiento; en Serra, se avanza en la investigación de la catástrofe, con el rescate de las historias de los que murieron por medio del recuerdo de los supervivientes, que buscan justicia y rehacer sus vidas.

Full textAbstract:
The term “counter narrative” refers to a narrative that takes on meaning through its relation with one or more other narratives. While this relation is not necessarily oppositional, it involves a stance toward some other narrative(s), and it is this aspect of stance, or position, that distinguishes counter narrative from other forms of intertextuality. The article explained, “counter‐narratives only make sense in relation to something else, that which they are countering counter narratives has been seen as a means of opposing or resisting socially and culturally informed master narratives (about, for example, skin colour, ethnicity, and food culture), which are often normative or oppressive, or exclude perspectives or experiences that diverge from those conveyed through master narratives. In this sense, counter narratives play a role in storytellers positioning themselves against, or critiquing, the themes and ideologies of master narratives. Used in this way, “counter narratives” refer to “the stories which people tell and live which offer resistance, either implicitly or explicitly, to dominant cultural narratives” This articles explains the counter narratives on perception of black skin colour and food culture. Both the concepts of counter-culture and counter-narrative tradition are new in the folklore field of Tamil traction.

In the battle of narratives to give meaning to the international system in the twenty-firstcentury, emerging powers are actively engaged. In particular, the BRICS group, comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, have advanced their claim to reconstitute international affairs to make it more just and fair. What if their narratives about the international system effectively contest narratives constituting the Liberal World Order? For understanding the battle more profoundly, this study examines the strategic narratives of the BRICS. A documentary methodology was employed to elicit themes and narratives in BRICS joint communiqués of 2009 to 2016 for the identification of its strategic narratives. I have identified a system narrative of global recovery, an identity narrative of inclusive participation and an issue narrative of infrastructural development. A narrative grammar was used to relate BRICS strategic narratives with their narrative environment of symbolic, institutional and material practices. Due to a partial compliance with the narrative grammatical rules, the BRICS group may not effectively influence and gain public support.

Abstract This study analyzed narratives of male and female adolescents with fragile X syndrome (FXS). The impact of structural language, cognition and autism symptomatology on narrative skills and the association between narratives and literacy were examined. Narratives from 32 adolescents with FXS (24 males, 8 females) were analyzed for macrostructure. Relationships between narrative macrostructure, language scores, cognitive scores, Childhood Autism Rating Scale-Second Edition scores and literacy skills were examined. Males produced more simplistic narratives, whereas the females' narratives were more complex. Language scores predicted narrative scores above and beyond nonverbal cognitive skills and autism symptomatology. Narrative scores correlated with literacy scores. Narrative skills in FXS are predicted by language skills and are correlated with literacy skills. Investigation into narrative interventions in FXS is needed.

Restorative narratives are stories that highlight how people recover from adversity. Researchers have proposed that this storytelling approach may provide a way to share negative news without emotionally overwhelming audiences. Instead, restorative narratives may decrease the need for emotion regulation processes and as a result, increase the willingness to help those in need. In Study 1, a restorative narrative elicited more positive emotions and an increased willingness to volunteer compared to a negative and control version of the same story. In Study 2, the restorative narrative again evoked more positive emotions and higher hypothetical donations to a relevant charity. Study 2 also varied the narrative ending and found that restorative narratives may need to end positively to maintain their effects.

Purpose Narratives are useful to educate novices to learn from the past in a safe environment. For some high-risk industries, narratives for lessons learnt are costly and limited, as they are constructed from the occurrence of accidents. This paper aims to propose a new approach to facilitate narrative generation from existing narrative sources to support training and learning. Design/methodology/approach A computational narrative semi-fiction generation (CNSG) approach is proposed, and a case study was conducted in a statutory body in the construction industry in Hong Kong. Apart from measuring the learning outcomes gained by participants through the new narratives, domain experts were invited to evaluate the performance of the CNSG approach. Findings The performance of the CNSG approach is found to be effective in facilitating new narrative generation from existing narrative sources and to generate synthetic semi-fiction narratives to support and educate individuals to learn from past lessons. The new narratives generated by the CNSG approach help students learn and remember important things and learning points from the narratives. Domain experts agree that the validated narratives are useful for training and learning purposes. Originality/value This study presents a new narrative generation process for a high-risk industry, e.g. the construction industry. The CNSG approach incorporates the technologies of natural language processing and artificial intelligence to computationally identify narrative gaps in existing narrative sources and proposes narrative fragments to generate new semi-fiction narratives. Encouraging results were gained through the case study.

¿Qué significa el perdón? ¿Está el perdón en el centro de las narrativas de los sobrevivientes del conflicto? ¿Qué tan cerca se encuentran las narrativas de la prensa de las narrativas propias de quienes sufrieron el conflicto armado colombiano? La comparación de los discursos de los medios de comunicación con testimonios de víctimas, sugiere que existe una brecha en las narrativas de ambos al referirse a mecanismos de reparación. El perdón no está en el centro de las narrativas de las comunidades. En ese panorama, se hace necesario un estudio que muestre hasta dónde la narrativa del perdón ha sido institucionalizada para la reconfiguración del país, alejándose de las concepciones propias de quienes sufrieron violencia. Esto es de especial importancia en regímenes de transición.La metodología de la presente investigación recoge métodos mixtos novedosos que permiten acercarse al objeto de estudio: el perdón como narrativa de reconciliación. El uso de métodos cualitativos como el análisis de textos, y de métodos cuantitativos como Topic Modeling, hacen del presente estudio una investigación novedosa. Para ello, se analizaron 1.407 artículos de prensa de los dos principales diarios del país (El Tiempo y El Espectador) y de la revista con mayor circulación (Semana), y se compararon con 407 relatos y testimonios de víctimas de cinco casos emblemáticos, entendiendo los primeros como discursos dominantes, y los segundos como discursos alternativos.Palabras clave: narrativas, perdón, Topic Modeling, amnistías, indultos, opinión pública. ABSTRACTSociological analysis of forgiveness: Dominant and alternative discoursesWhat does forgiveness mean? Is forgiveness at the center of the narratives of conflict survivors? How close are the narratives of the press to the narratives of those who suffered the Colombian armed conflict? The comparison of the speeches of the media with testimonies of victims suggests that there is a gap between both narratives when referring to mechanisms of reparation. Forgiveness is not at the core of the narratives of the communities. In this scenario, a study is necessary to show how far the narrative of forgiveness has been institutionalized for the reconfiguration of the country, moving away from the conceptions of those who suffered violence. This is especially important in transition regimes. The methodology of this research includes novel mixed methods that allow us to approach the object of study: forgiveness as a narrative of reconciliation. The use of qualitative methods such as text analysis, and quantitative methods such as Topic Modeling, make this study a novel investigation. To this end, 1,407 press articles were analyzed from the country’s two main newspapers (El Tiempo and El Espectador) and from the magazine with the largest circulation (Semana), and were compared with 407 stories and testimonies from victims of five emblematic cases, understanding the former as dominant discourses, and the latter as alternative discourses.Keywords: narratives, pardon, Topic Modeling, amnesties, pardons, public opinion.

Societal organizations aim at challenging online extremist messages by counterposing with different narratives such as alternative narratives (one-sided narrative) and counter-narratives (two-sided narratives). The current study examined which type of narrative is more efficient in changing attitudes accounting for narrative involvement and reactance regarding the narrative. We employed a 2(one-sided vs. two-sided narrative) × 2 (ease of identification vs. no ease of identification) between-subjects design (N = 405) using a controversial topic: the ongoing debate about how to deal with the number of refugees in Germany. We found an indirect effect of the narrative on attitude change. People who read the two-sided narrative showed less reactance. The smaller the reactance, the more they felt involved in the narrative, which, in turn led to more positive attitudes towards refugees. We discuss these findings regarding their theoretical contribution to create customized narratives challenging extremist messages.

Narratives are often created within a linear time, which allows them to be organized into a simple and discrete series of events. However, narratives can be created outside of linear time, thereby changing the organization of the narrative. To think about this further, we draw from Henri Bergson’s concept of duration and Gilles Deleuze’s ontology of difference to reconsider time in narratives and question the simple temporal organization of events. In doing so we develop the concept of nested-time as a way of playing with time and narrative and encourage narrative researchers to experiment with time and narrative as well.

Full textAbstract:
This study develops a new analysis methodology for legendary narratives based on the possible world theory. As part of this, it develops a narrative analysis model. Unlike “traditional narratology,” possible world theory enables new and diverse approaches related to narrative by establishing various worlds created through stories, and it allows the establishment of related hypotheses and theories. Particularly, it provides a methodology for a new understanding of narratives that are difficult to establish in literature or history, such as legendary narratives.
Legends are often regarded as fictional narratives that have a certain degree of historicity with temporal and spatial limitations and evidence but are differentiated from history. However, according to White, history is also a fictional narrative that creates a specific world by constructing a plot and indicates a specific ideology or meaning. Finally, historical narratives are simply narratives related to the history of actual events, whereas legendary narratives are non-historical narratives about a world believed to have existed. By breaking away from the conventional perspective of mimesis and assuming various possible worlds, we can plan a new methodology for narrative research by examining the worlds presented by narratives.
In this discussion, a model for analyzing legend narratives was presented using Doležel's modal logic system. The alethic, deontic, axiological, and epistemic plots were established as segmented units and analysis items that operate in the story world. The modes of each stage of the narrative were analyzed and connected to create meaning in the form of a single sentence. This analysis model was applied to Song Si-yeol legends handed down in the Goesan region to analyze the composition principles of the narrative text and the meaning of the narrative. By applying the secondary narrative analysis model using a modal logic system, it is possible to examine the semantics of the story world within a systematic framework, rather than simply finding the primary indicative meaning or subjective and abstract commentary of the legendary narratives.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand how narratives are generated in stores. Design/methodology/approach The study design is based on ethnographies documented in 10 sports stores in the Paris region. The ethnographic method enables a precise and in situ observation of how narratives are structured. Narrative structures develop from the accommodation of the narratives specific to retailers and narratives specific to the customer. Findings The findings of this study identified four main narratives in retail spaces (the serial, the tale, the epic, the legend), each of which is distinguished by the commercial/non-commercial orientation of the narratives and by a superficial/in-depth modification of the narratives produced outside the store. These four narratives are characterized by the vendors’ roles and by the distinct interactions between customers and retail stores. Research limitations/implications The originality of this study is to propose a narrative framework for retail structures. It illustrates the fact that the narrative is not solely a product of experiential marketing, but that it may be found in any retail store. From a practical point of view, it highlights other less costly experiential narrative strategies. Practical implications From a practical point of view, it highlights other less costly experiential narrative strategies. Originality/value The original value of this study is to apply structural semiotics to analyse narratives in the store.

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 indigeneity that challenge traditional understandings of difference, revealing the ways indigenous people make sense of the past and construct their own narratives. My intention is to explore the tensions of place, space and memory through a reflection on indigenous resistance narratives. I examine different knowledges of place and “country”, suggesting there are parallels between indigenous people’s cultural knowledge in Australia and indigenous people’s knowledge in Malaysia. Western preoccupations continue to ignore this cultural knowledge and, in doing so, they eclipse broader awareness about issues of significance for indigenous communities.

Full textAbstract:
The science fiction form adopted by Santiago Páez, in "Uriel" (2006), and Giaconda Belli, in Waslala (1996), owes the rudiments of its literary structure to early colonial narratives of New World encounter. Such science fiction not only contains strong traces of what Mary Louise Pratt has famously called the “rhetoric of discovery,” but also employs tropes directly or indirectly inherited from colonial travel narratives. However, Páez and Belli associate this science fiction form with a legacy of United States neo-imperialism, in which colonial narratives have been invoked and repeated triumphantly in the construction of national imaginaries. In Central and South America, conversely, the novela de la selva—the other clear structural source for Páez and Belli, and a literary form equally indebted to colonial narratives of New World encounter—remains conscious of its enunciation as a postcolonial form critical of its colonial narrative sources. While the novela de la selva, then, shares a literary taproot with sci-fi narratives of futuristic exploration, Páez and Belli utilize the latter to renovate and reactivate the former’s critique of an imperialist legacy by exploiting tensions that arise between these two disparate literary forms whose central tropes so often coincide. I argue that by adapting the ecologically aware New World imaginary peculiar to the novela de la selva, in which positivist ambitions of national expansion are checked by a forest that nevertheless becomes part of a national imaginary, Páez and Belli fundamentally alter the New World imaginary that underwrites high science fiction narratives of exploration and expansion. Resumen "Uriel" (2006), del Ecuatoriano Santiago Páez, y Waslala (1996), de la novelista nicaragüense Giaconda Belli, utilizan una forma específica de la ciencia ficción, la cual debe los elementos básicos de su estructura a las narrativas coloniales del "descubrimiento" del Nuevo Mundo. Este sub-género de la ciencia ficción no sólo demuestra lo que Mary Louise Pratt ha llamado una "rhetoric of discovery," sino que también emplea varios tropos heredados – directamente o indirectamente – de las crónicas coloniales. Sin embargo, en la obra de Páez y Belli, este sub-género se asocia principalmente con una tradición estadounidense de neoimperialismo, donde estas narrativas coloniales se celebran como parte integral de los imaginarios nacionalistas. En contraste, en Centroamérica y América del Sur, la novela de la selva – otra fuente narrativa para la obra de Páez y Belli, e igualmente fundamentada en las narrativas del descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo – reconoce su propia enunciación como forma poscolonial y se mantiene crítica de sus fuentes coloniales. Así, mientras la novela de la selva comparte una raíz narrativa con este sub-género de la ciencia ficción, Páez y Belli hacen productivas las tensiones que surgen entre estas formas distintas cuyos tropos centrales, con mucha frecuencia, coinciden y entrechocan. En este ensayo argumento que el imaginario del Nuevo Mundo particular a la novela de la selva, marcado por una conciencia ecocrítica, sirve aquí para modificar y criticar los usos narrativos del Nuevo Mundo típicos de las narrativas futurísticas de exploración y expansión inter-galácticas.

Genre features and structure of shamanic narratives existing in Tuvan folklore are analyzed. Two types of stories have been identified in the performing tradition – from the ritual specialist and the bearer of the tradition. The mythological picture in both types of stories complement each other, in them the general narrative model characteristic of shamanic narratives is preserved. It is revealed that shamanic narratives combine features of various genres of non-narrative prose: oral narrative, myth and mythological narrative, legend and legend, which indicates the archaic syncretism of folklore consciousness. In the structure of shamanic narratives, the differentiating features characteristic of a particular genre of non-narrative prose are described in detail and described. In shamanic narratives, the presence of shamanic algysh-chants is revealed; their pragmatic functions are determined; their thematic diversity is revealed.

Personal narrative, a very important subgenre of narratives, is usually developed in a particular style. To know its specificity, in this study, oral personal narratives have been analyzed. For this purpose, twenty oral narratives, collected from twenty students of BS English, have been analyzed. In order to understand the macrostructure, i.e., narrative categories, Labov’s (1972) model of sociolinguist features of narratives has been used. For the analysis of microstructures, Halliday’s and Hasan’s (1976) five key cohesive ties: references, conjunction, substitution, ellipses, and lexical ties have been used. It was found that with little variations, most of the personal experience oral narratives follow the Labov’s structure of narrative analysis, i.e., abstract, orientation, complicating actions, resolution, evaluation, and coda. Likewise, while doing microanalysis, it was found that the narratives were well-compact with the help of elements of cohesive ties. The study shows that oral personal experience narratives can have the same structure as those of written narratives.

Narratives, both personal and social, guide how we live and how we are acculturated into our social worlds. As we make changes in our lives, our personal stories change and, in turn, have the potential to influence the social narratives of which we are a part. Likewise, when there are changes in the culture and social worlds around us, that social narrative changes, thereby affecting our personal narratives. In other words, personal and social narratives are strongly linked and mutually influence each other. We may feel and know these transformations take place and understand the ways in which our lives are affected. However, we often struggle to document these shifts. This article suggests using the practical theory, Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM) (Pearce, 2007), for narrative analysis to identify and surface personal and social narrative transformations.

Analysis of interactive narrative is a complex undertaking, requiring understanding of the narrative's design, its affordances, and its impact on players. Analysis is often performed by an expert, but this is expensive and difficult for complex interactive narratives. Automated analysis of structure, the organization of interaction elements, could help augment an expert's analysis. For this purpose we developed a model consisting of a set of metrics to analyze interactive narrative structure, enabled by a novel multi-graph representation. We implemented this model for an interactive scenario authoring tool called StudyCrafter and analyzed 20 student-designed scenarios. We show that the model illuminates the structures and groupings of the scenarios. This work provides insight for manual analysis of attributes of interactive narratives and a starting point for automated design assistance.

Narratives are foundation of human cognition and decision making. Because narratives play a crucial role in societal discourses and spread of misinformation and because of the pervasive use of social media, the narrative dynamics on social media can have profound societal impact. Yet, systematic and computational understanding of online narratives faces critical challenge of the scale and dynamics; how can we reliably and automatically extract narratives from massive amount of texts? How do narratives emerge, spread, and die? Here, we propose a systematic narrative discovery framework that fill this gap by combining change point detection, semantic role labeling (SRL), and automatic aggregation of narrative fragments into narrative networks. We evaluate our model with synthetic and empirical data — two Twitter corpora about COVID-19 and 2017 French Election. Results demonstrate that our approach can recover major narrative shifts that correspond to the major events.

Narratives matter. They shape the social world in which they circulate, reflecting and refracting the cultural limits of what narratives can be told, in what setting, to whom. From this perspective, they structure how we make sense of ourselves, as members of a community, but they also structure how we understand right and wrong, good and evil. Nowhere is this more apparent than in capital murder trials in which the narratives that are constructed are literally life and death matters. The research on narrative processes in capital trials documents how the courtroom is a place for “story-battles” where each narrative works to disqualify the other and legitimize itself, in an effort to structure jurors’ decisions. This is accentuated in the penalty phase of the capital trial where both mitigating and aggravating narratives “thicken” the narratives told in the guilt phase; in the penalty phase jurors make the decision to sentence the defendant to either life without the possibility of parole, or to death. While some research of juror decision-making shows that jurors favor the prosecution narrative and make up their minds to give the death sentence independent of the penalty phase narratives, other research on mitigation narratives shows that contextualizing the defendant, via mitigating narratives, can overturn the power of the prosecution narrative and lead to a life, rather than a death, sentence. This research seeks to avoid efforts to associate juror cognitive processes to narrative processes and instead seeks to examine the connection between jury sentencing decisions, for life or death, as a function of narrative closure which is, in turn, defined in terms of two narrative dimensions: structural complexity and moral transparency. Using this framework, the penalty phase narratives in two capital trials are compared along these dimensions; the findings suggest that moral transparency and structural complexity provide the foundations for narrative closure in the penalty phase, as both structural simplicity and moral obtuseness are characteristic of narratives that are not adopted by the jury. While the sample size is small, the narrative data is rich, and the study, overall, is intended not to suggest a causal relation between dimensions of narrative closure and jury sentencing, but rather aims to illustrate a method for assessing narratives in relation to jury sentencing in the penalty phase of capital trials. However, at the broadest level, the paper offers a framework for examining the way that narrative works to contain violence.

ABSTRACT This article discusses the narrative practices of a Brazilian social movement whose members are the mothers and relatives of young people victimized by police raids into Rio de Janeiro’s favelas. By analysing the narratives produced by activists, we explore how grief is converted into political fight. As we look into how mothers intertwine their individual pain with political activism, we examine (i) how emotions and suffering are organized in their narratives; and (ii) what discursive strategies are used in the process. Data was generated during public demonstrations, and the analysis suggests that it is by turning the pain of a losing a child into political insurgence that mothers narratively organize their emotions. As stories get told, events surrounding the murders are recontextualized and experiences are collectivized. Mothers’ stories become narratives of resistance, which oppose institutional racism, but also narratives of re-existence (SOUZA, 2009), which recast the deaths of their children as an effect of a necropolitical logic of state organization.

In this study I examine Venezuelan children's developing abilities to use evaluative language in fictional and personal narratives. The questions addressed are: (1) How does the use of evaluative language vary in fictional and personal narratives? (2) Is there a relationship between the use of evaluative language in these two narrative genres and children's age and socio-economic status (SES)? The sample consists of 444 narratives produced by 113 Venezuelan school-age children participating in 4 narrative tasks, in which personal and fictional stories were elicited. Findings suggest that age and socio-economic status have a greater impact on the use of evaluation in fictional stories than in personal narratives. Low SES and younger children are at a greater disadvantage when performing fictional narratives than when performing personal narratives. These results strongly imply that children's narrative competence cannot be assessed in a single story-telling task, given the importance that task-related factors seem to have on narrative abilities.

AbstractThe article seeks to explore sameness and difference in narrative theory by way of shifting the emphasis from the narratives themselves to the research acts we perform on narratives. It proposes a model for analyzing research acts. Applying this model to various research acts in narrative theory it shows that what it implies to look for sameness and difference within narratives will vary with the kind of research act in question. Highlighting the difference between research acts that make theoretical claims about groups of narrative and research acts that seeks to explore the meaning of individual narratives, the article is critically geared both towards theories that stress the fiction/non-fiction divide and towards theories that seek to formulate a narrative theory that encompasses narratives of all kinds. It argues for the place in narrative theory of interpretive working procedures that allow us to focus on the individual narrative, in order to grasp its potential contribution to the human conversation.

La narrativa hipermedia aleja el museo del templo de las musas y contribuye a acercarlo a todas las personas. Gracias a esta narrativa, el museo in situ se hace virtual y ubicuo, y, por medio de los dispositivos móviles, nos acompaña siempre. Pero el museo no utiliza adecuadamente la distintas estructuras que cobijan la narrativa hipermedia, ya que privilegia, casi exclusivamente, la informativa. Por otra parte, no potencia la interactividad con interacción orientada a la participación y la cooperación de todas las personas. Esta investigación plantea el presente de la narrativa hipermedia en el museo y apunta algunas claves para su necesaria evolución. Hypermedia narratives in museums. The present of the futureAbstractHypermedia narratives take museums away from the Temple of the Muses and bring them closer to people. Thanks to these narratives, in situ museums can become virtual and ubiquitous and, by means of mobile devices, they are always available. However, museums tend not to use hypermedia narrative structures appropriately, because they almost exclusively favor information structures. Furthermore, museums do not encourage interactivity with interaction oriented to participation and cooperation. Our research questions the current role of hypermedia narratives in museums and points to the need for change.Keywords: Hypermedia museography, hypermedia narrative, interaction, interactivity, mobile hipermedia, transmedia narrativepp. 101-121

ABSTRACTPersonal event narratives and fictional stories are narrative genres which emerge early and undergo further development throughout the preschool and early elementary school years. This study compares personal event and fictional narratives across two language-ability groups using episodic analysis. Thirty-six normal children (aged 4 to 8 years) were divided into high and low language-ability groups using Developmental Sentence Scoring (DSS). Three fictional stories and three personal event narratives were gathered from each subject and were scored for length in communication units, total types of structures found within the narrative, and structure of the whole narrative. Narrative genre differences significantly influenced narrative structure for both language-ability groups and narrative length for the high language-ability group. Personal events were told with more reactive sequences and complete episodes than fictional stories, while fictional stories were told with more action sequences and multiple-episode structures. Compared to the episodic story structure of fictional stories, where a prototypical ‘good” story is a multiple-episode structure, a reactive sequence and/or a single complete episode structure may be an alternate, involving mature narrative forms for relating personal events. These findings suggest that narrative structures for personal event narratives and fictional stories may follow different developmental paths. Finally, differences in productive language abilities contributed to the distinctions in narrative structure between fictional stories and personal event narratives. As compared to children in the low group, children in the high group told narratives with greater numbers of complete and multiple episodes, and their fictional stories were longer than their personal event narratives.

The Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) focuses attention on the importance of narratives in policy debates and on their empirical analysis. While NPF has become an increasingly important and accepted approach to studying the policy process, the vast majority of research applies it to the policy contexts of the United States, which limits tests of its potential generalizability and responsiveness to cultural specificity. To broaden the contextual scope of the approach, this study applies the NPF to a non-U.S. policy context through examining the controversial issue of agricultural biotechnology policy in India. It analyzes media coverage from leading English newspapers in India to explore the strategic use of narrative variables in policy narratives. In doing so, it highlights the important role of incomplete policy narratives in policy debates and outcomes. Policy narratives do not always contain a full suite of narrative components, and yet they may be among the most common messages received by the public and political actors. Through an analysis of incomplete narratives, this study attempts to further refine the definition of policy narratives and consider which narratives are important from empirical and audience reception perspectives. Results show that incomplete narratives occur more frequently and contain relevant narrative variables.

It has been proposed that comics are a particular form of a fundamental human ability to produce visual narratives – a visual language. The expression of this visual language has received little attention outside comics. To address this matter, this work compares comics and scientific diagrams, focusing on representations of morphological transformation. Cohn’s Visual Narrative Grammar model, the role of dynamic knowledge structures and semiotics are considered in this analysis. A comic book and a diagram are investigated. Both reveal two kinds of transformation narratives: those that are depicted in the image sequence, and those that are inferred. In contrast to depicted narratives, inferred narratives do not depend on a narrative structure. Instead, they require context-specific instructions to organize subjects into narratives. Additionally, simultaneous events in visual narratives are proposed to generate concurrent narrative structures within a single image sequence.

This paper defends the view that narratives that bring understanding of the past need not be exhaustively analyzable as explanatory inferences, nor as causal narratives. Instead of treating historical narrative as explanations, I argue that understanding of history can be analyzed by the general epistemic criteria of understanding. I explore one such criterion, which is of chief importance for good historical narratives: potential inferential power. As a corollary, I dispute one of the distinctive features of narratives described by some philosophers: the non-aggregativity of narrative histories. Instead, I propose that historical narratives modestly aggregate and this aggregation depends on the success of the colligatory concepts they offer.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper aims to demonstrate how consumer attachment to celebrity brands is driven by perceived narratives about the celebrity’s persona, which triggers communal (i.e. altruistic) relationship norms. The research investigates the differential role of narratives about celebrities’ personal vs professional lives in creating attachment and identifies and tests moderating effects of narrative characteristics including perceived source of fame, valence and authenticity. Design/methodology/approach Three online experiments tested the proposed direct, meditating and moderating relationships. Data was analyzed using mediation analysis and multiple ANOVAs. Findings The results suggest relationship norms that are more altruistic in nature fully mediate the relationship between narrative type and brand attachment. Additionally, personal narratives produce stronger attachment than professional narratives; the celebrity’s source of fame moderates narrative type and attachment; and on-brand narratives elicit higher attachment than off-brand narratives, even when these narratives are negative. Practical implications The authors offer recommendations for how marketers can shape celebrity brand narratives to build stronger consumer attachment. Notably, personal (vs professional) narratives are critical in building attachment, especially for celebrity brands that are perceived to have achieved their fame. Both positive and negative personal narratives can strengthen attachment for achieved celebrity brands, but only if they are on-brand with consumer expectations. Originality/value This research is an introductory examination of the fundamental theoretical process by which celebrity brand relationships develop from brand persona narratives and how characteristics of those narratives influence consumer-brand attachment.

Full textAbstract:
Mental health nurses need to know their clients at depth, and to comprehend their social contexts in order to provide holistic care. Knowing persons through their stories, narratives they tell, provides contextual detail and person-revealing characteristics that make them individuals. Narratives are an everyday means of communicating experience, and there is a place for storytelling in nearly all cultures. Thus narrative is a culturally congruent way to ascertain and understand experiences. This means the nurse should ask questions such as “How did that come about?” versus why questions. A narrative approach stands in contrast to a yes/no algorithmic process in conversing with clients. Eliciting stories illustrates the social context of events, and implicitly provides answers to questions of feeling and meaning. Here we include background on narrative, insights from narrative research, and clinical wisdom in explaining how narratively understanding the person can improve mental health nursing services. Implications for theory, practice, and research are discussed.

A narrative is a story someone tells to influence the person they are talking to, the discussion community, or society. The information narrative carries may or may not be valid. Narratives about China developed abundantly in Indonesia during the Jokowi administration. The rise and fall in narrative frequency are greatly influenced by political activities in Indonesia, public perception, and China’s relations with Indonesia. While many narratives come from false information or hoaxes, many positive narratives about China come from valid data. Positive narratives about China’s economic assistance, China’s position as a leading country, and the influence of Chinese culture can overcome the dominance of negative narratives on social media about China and the Jokowi government, many of which originate from hoaxes. Public perception and approval of Jokowi’s government confirm that the narrative about China’s assistance to Indonesia is well-assented.

<p class="Abstract">Tourist experience has become a focal point in tourism management studies. Unforgettable, special, and spectacular travel experience is challenged to encourage not only in quantity side in the material form of numbers of visitors but also develop values that maintain, preserve, and conserve heritage tourism principles. Development of heritage tourism by integrating the concept of tourism and cultural conservation has become one of the efforts carried in Borobudur Temple Compound. One of the core elements in this effort was the development of travel experience with channeling narratives in tourism practices. The Borobudur Temple Compound holds a bountiful of narratives that have been buried in decades. Reviving the narratives around Borobudur becomes essential in managing heritage tourism and preserving cultural heritage. Selected narratives collected in the legend of Borobudur are soon to be integrated into tourism practice. Focusing on the increase of effectiveness in creating travel experience; transfer knowledge and values of these selected stories or narratives are studied to grasp tourist satisfaction determined by tourist’s psychological flow. Thus, these experiences become essential in evaluating heritage tourism development through narrations in Borobudur Compounds. This research-based article presents the significance of travel experience into two main focus: the narratives and travel experience with the narrative storytelling, including creativity in creating tour amenities, and management from tour guide competencies from two selected Borobudur narrative. Using survey and focus group interview the outcomes shows a positive tourist experience satisfaction in which can be used as a foundation to thrust the development of heritage tourism policies in Indonesia.<o:p></o:p></p>

Tied to meaning-making, narratives are saturated with political relevance. Narratives do political work on both the individual and collective levels. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the political work performed by a given narrative, both the historical context and local context must be analyzed. This paper uses a comparative dialogic analysis derived from M. M. Bakhtin to illuminate the different types of political work that narratives can accomplish. I compare two slave narratives, each recalling an incident of violence against a slave. Although the narratives describe similar events, their portrayals of slavery differ greatly because of the different political work they perform in their respective contexts. One narrative, produced in conjunction with the abolitionist movement, serves as a piece of political propaganda that frames slavery in an uncompromisingly harsh light. The other narrative, taken from a WPA interview in the 1930s, reveals narrative as a site of political conflict between blacks and whites during the Jim Crow era.
