Description:
In this study, we will explore the concept of "self as story" by examining the perspectives of several narrative theorists. Narrative psychology is an interdisciplinary perspective concerned with the process of meaning-making; it is a way of viewing self and self-in-the-world, a framework for conceptualizing personality and human nature and lived experience. If life consists of everything that happens from birth to death, the elements of life that we highlight and incorporate into our personal systems of meaning constitute stories (narratives) that contain both unique and universal characteristics. Topics will include the meaning of stories in a life, becoming a "myth maker," agentic and communal "imagoes" (or personal archetypes), the development of a narrative sense of self, and exploring your myth; as well as life stories, the autobiographical self ("storying" life and identity), reading lives like a text, the need for narrative development, stories and memory, the quest for meaning, transforming and transcending our life stories.
