Since the so-called "narrative turn" in a range of fields within the humanities, the concept of narrative has been used extensively in a variety of contexts and has seen a significant expansion in its aims and objectives. Beginning with the divide between classical and postclassical approaches, this shift has also led to a strong diversification of approaches within narratology. This workshop provides an introduction to the study of narratology and a basic map of the
field’s current diverse approaches. It will also introduce the basics of narrative analysis and its fundamental concepts, guided by the key questions: What is a narrative? What is a narrative strategy? How do degrees of narrativity function? And how can the study of narrative help us understand and conceptualize the world? The aim of the workshop is to equip participants with
ideas about how to utilize tools of narrative analysis in their research. Participants are encouraged to bring their research projects and consider how they would like to apply narrative analysis or how they think they could benefit from it. By the end of the workshop, participants should have a grasp of the basic concepts of narrative, have some of their questions answered, and gain basic resources for how to utilize narrative theory in an interdisciplinary context.
