Narrativist

How did the narrativist orthodoxy arise? I suspect that it is because those who write about it and treat it as a universal truth about the human condition tend, like Bruner, to be profoundly narrative types themselves.

Put provocatively, one can both uphold a covering law model as far as the analysis of particular explanations is concerned, and still use a narrativist approach for the holistic analysis of historiographic texts.

These and other narrativist approaches described above provide theoretical frameworks and methodologies that make it possible to consider the significance of narratives and narratology for other core areas of the study of culture, picking up the threads of other contextualist approaches like feminist and gender-oriented narratology […]

Plot is not of overriding importance in my work. On the contrary: I am an episodic rather than a narrativist writer.
