Growing out of an International Society of the Study of Behavioral
Development-sponsored symposium, this book discusses the basic
assumptions that led the contributors to conduct research in the
field of narrative development. This collection gathers their
research reflections and varying approaches to narrative and its
development. It illustrates each type of approach and highlights
their respective motives. The book presents some of the basic
motivating assumptions of each approach and provides insight into
what holds each set of assumptions together, potentially
transforming them into actions. This book will serve as an
excellent text for courses emphasizing multiple approaches to the
study of narrative. The editor has organized this volume in
accordance with the six main points of the symposium: *
Specification of the Domain--how narratives are defined in terms of
textual structures, knowledge thereof, interactive moves,
sociocultural conventions, and the like. * The Individual's
Involvement in the Developmental Process--the relationship between
some internal or external forces and the organism's own active
participation in the developmental process. * The Course of
Development--if it is continuous or discontinuous; whether it
proceeds in an additive fashion or whether regressive phases occur;
and what changes at different points in the developmental process
signify. * The Goal of Development--the implicit notion of a telos,
a target or end-point that needs to occur in the developmental
process. * Mechanisms of Development--the forces and/or conditions
that both instigate the developmental process and keep it moving
toward its telos. * Methodology--where and how to look in the
establishment of a developmental framework. This book is an
indispensable text in the fields of narrative and/or discourse,
linguistics, language studies, psychology, and education in
general.
