Sylvie Patron and Brian Schiff, eds., Special Section: Narrative Matters 2014: Narrative Knowing/Récit et Savoir (original) (raw)

2015, Narrative Works: Issues, Investigations, Interventions

The articles in this section draw on the texts of plenary lectures presented at the seventh Narrative Matters Conference, Narrative Knowing/Récit et Savoir, organized at the Université Paris Diderot, in partnership with the American University of Paris, from June 23-27, 2014. The aim of this event was to contribute to the progress of interdisciplinary research on narrative by bringing together scholars from many disciplines—including psychology, sociology, anthropology, history, philosophy, linguistics, literary studies, feminist and gender studies, education, medicine, biology, law, and theology—to reflect on the issue of the sometimes contested epistemic powers of narrative.
