Summary/Abstract: Chapter 1 discusses narrative as a key source for understanding social and cultural phenomena, emphasizing that its value lies not just in content but in how individuals structure and convey their stories. It explores various theoretical definitions of narrative, highlighting its non-linear, meaning-driven nature and its role as a performative social act shaped by the narrator’s perspective and context. The chapter also distinguishes between narrative and metanarrative analysis, arguing that while both reveal underlying social structures and ideologies, metanarratives operate on a conceptual level, generating frameworks for interpreting diverse linguistic expressions.
