View source for Narrativization

Building narratives to create meaning. This includes meaning in the sense of “being meaningful” as well as in the sense of “making sense”. The story of your life, your story about the world, and so on. Stories large and small. A religion or political ideology can be perceived as a story about The Struggle Between Good And Evil, while the self-images of individuals can be perceived as their story about themselves. To build narratives is not inherently bad. It doesn't become narrativism until it starts to suppress relevant facts or relevant points of views. (In Swedish: narrativisering)
