Article Synopsis
- Qualitative studies increasingly use narratives to understand individual experiences in context, exploring ideas from philosophers like Paul Ricoeur and Walter Benjamin.
- Ricoeur's hermeneutics links narrative to temporality, while Benjamin suggests that fragmented narratives can challenge official stories and create new forms.
- The text also examines medical anthropology's view of narrative as a vital, embodied aspect of life, and concludes with examples of mental health research projects utilizing these narrative theories.
