Narrative: the contribution of Bruner
The most important author who is interested in the study of narratives was definitely Bruner (1990, 1996). During his studies he has come to define what he believes is the fundamental characteristics of narrative text.
addition to sequencing the author speaks of referential opacity. The basic idea is that history need not necessarily be true, but plausible and that we should not be taken into account in the analysis of its consistency and credibility of the correspondence between what is said and reality.
the stories are also guided by the principle of 'intentionality : the characters are always described in their size and manifest mental attitudes, opinions and intentions. For this reason the understanding of history and request the ability to grasp the mental states of others.
The narrative, then, always involves the breaking of canonicity because unexpected events and a series of efforts to restore the original stability.
Finally a story can not be "free entry", but always carries with it the prospect of the narrator.
What characterizes the narrative is also the dialectic created between two fundamental levels: that of reality or the outside world, and that of conscience or the inner world.
Bruner (1990) speaks of two different scenarios: the scenario of action and consciousness . While the first concerns what happens and to whom, the scenario of consciousness about what the characters and the narrator think, feel, perceive.
