NARRATIVE AS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CATEGORY: THE HISTORY OF STUDY
Abstract
The article examines the narrative concept as an interdisciplinary category that plays a key role in understanding and structuring human experience through stories. The main narrative study approaches, developed by leading researchers, in particular Roland Barthes, Paul Ricoeur, Gerard Genette, Franz Karl Stenzel, David Herman and Jane Elliott, are analyzed.
The narrative theory development from the structuralism of the 1960s to modern cognitive, sociological and philosophical research is outlined. Special attention is paid to Genet's narrative three-level model, Ricoeur's concept of meaningful time, Stenzel's typological approach and Herman's cognitive theory. The role of narrative in culture, social relationships, identity and communication is highlighted.
The article also examines the practical narratives application in various fields: media studies, marketing, psychotherapy, education, politics, economics, and digital culture. The authors emphasize the universality of narrative, its ability to integrate knowledge from different disciplines and contribute to the understanding of both individual and social experience.
