reading Trying to summarize the core concepts in a very schematic to the point of sacrificing the richness of what they read ...
1. Experience and its link with the narrative
Conception experience: "Experience is not simply that we live in is the process that connects the memory lived and endows them with meaning. It has something of a lost and find a. The experience is like including a return with him, and this understanding will benefit from the option of telling "(p. 5, see also p. 18). In this way the recovery position Bruner. Interesting references to Benjamin (p. 18). Nice description of the fragmentation of experience and, subsequently, the need to identify forms of consolidation, "the whole of daily life that tends to be seen as an uninterrupted succession of bumps, collisions, events whose sequence is reversible and not necessary as the shots dice on the table. Life becomes a very early , where little or nothing has time and opportunity to settle. The experience becomes fragmented: different moments lie alongside each other without any possibility (or at least it is not easy) interconnect them "(p. 22).
2. The community dimension of narrative and intersubjective
Importance of the position of recipient pp. 30-31 and the chapter on narrative communication pp. 32-38. Interesting the reference to Edwards: communitas from munus (p. 33) and then linked from the community narrative created by the reciprocity of the gift. Distinction between stories and hegemonic tales critical p. 36 (against the naive visions of community narrative). Link with the public sphere (p. 38 ff). Circular flow of communication (pp. 59). Inevitable intersubjective dimension of the narrative and community, "the fact is that my experience is not only what I have lived: it is what I experienced with other [...] Any serious autobiography takes place beyond the life of the person who said "(p. 86). The story is "a recognition of my individuality and contingency. But it also opens to that which transcends my finitude "(p. 87).
3. Functions of narrative mediation
function of myth, image and story (p. 69), the establishment of order, "the narrative corrects the disorder of what we experience, and give it form" (p. 121).
4. Excess of short stories and importance of silence
Very nice observations on the excess of short stories (p. 98) and working memory (p. 106).
"All 'Sometimes you have too much incentive to escape: so in silence, their selection criteria to emerge about the speech or images that really matter to us" (p. 99).
5. What does the story
forms of reflection, alienation / distancing itself .... by reference to Bateson, the deutero learning (p. 103). The paradox of the story: that which is internal becomes external "to tell, then, means to produce a certain distance: the story we told there is now outside of us, watching us and we observe it" (p. 123).
Narrating and the metaphor of the tent (p. 129): the story is like a home, but home is a tent ... truly a beautiful metaphor.
