"What are the influences that govern how people view their worlds? What are the embedded values and practices that underpin the ways people think and act? Discourses We Live By approaches these questions through narrative research, in a process that uses words, images, activities or artefacts to ask people - either individually or collectively within social groupings - to examine, discuss, portray or otherwise make public their place in the world, their sense of belonging to (and identity within) the physical and cultural space they inhabit. This book is a rich and multifaceted collection of twenty-eight chapters that use varied lenses to examine the discourses that shape people's lives. The contributors are themselves from many backgrounds - different academic disciplines within the humanities and social sciences, diverse professional practices and a range of countries and cultures. They represent a broad spectrum of age, status and outlook, and variously apply their research methods - but share a common interest in people, their lives, thoughts and actions. Gathering such eclectic experiences as those of student-teachers in Kenya, a released prisoner in Denmark, academics in Colombia, a group of migrants learning English, and gambling addiction support-workers in Italy, alongside more mainstream educational themes, the book presents a fascinating array of insights. Discourses We Live By will be essential reading for adult educators and practitioners, those involved with educational and professional practice, narrative researchers, and many sociologists. It will appeal to all who want to know how narratives shape the way we live and the way we talk about our lives."--

This groundbreaking book challenges the disciplinary boundaries that have traditionally separated scientific inquiry from literary inquiry. It explores scientific knowledge in three subject areas-the natural history of aging, literary narrative, and psychoanalysis. In the authors' view, the different perspectives on cognition afforded by Anglo-American cognitive science, Greimassian semiotics, and Lacanian psychoanalysis help us to redefine our very notion of culture. Part I historically situates the concepts of meaning and truth in twentieth-century semiotic theory and cognitive science. Part II contrasts the modes of Freudian case history to the general instance of Einstein's relativity theory and then sets forth a rhetoric of narrative based on the discourse of the aged. Part III examines in the context of literary studies an interdisciplinary concept of cultural cognition. Culture and Cognition will be essential reading for literary theorists, historians and philosophers of science; semioticians; and scholars and students of cultural studies, the sociology of literature, and science and literature.

Der Begriff ,Dokufiktion' wird seit geraumer Zeit zur Kategorisierung medialer Produkte herangezogen und ist in verschiedenen Dispositiven wie dem Film, dem Fernsehen, dem Theater, der Literatur oder auch dem Gaming-Bereich weit verbreitet. Trotz seiner Resonanzstärke im medien- und literaturwissenschaftlichen Diskurs ist der Begriff an sich darüber hinaus bislang unscharf geblieben. In der Forschung besteht noch kein Konsens über seine Verwendungsweise, lediglich Einigkeit darüber, dass mit ,Dokufiktion' Erzählungen zwischen ,Fakt' und ,Fiktion' bezeichnet werden. Der analytische Mehrwert des Begriffs wird deshalb immer wieder in Frage gestellt und sein Gebrauch ist im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs umstritten. An diesem Punkt setzt der Band an: Er will mithilfe seines interdisziplinären Zugangs zu einer Konturierung und Schärfung des Konzepts beitragen. Hierfür spüren die literatur-, kommunikations- und medienwissenschaftlichen Beiträge den vielfältigen Formen und Funktionen dokufiktionalen Erzählens in Literatur und Medien nach und entwickeln so ein begriffliches Instrumentarium, um das Phänomen der Dokufiktionalität medienübergreifend beschreibbar zu machen. Hybrid narratives between fact and fiction are all the rage these days. Frequently, they are characterized as "docu-fiction," though it is unclear which staged references to self and others are actually covered by the concept. The interdisciplinary volume analyses the forms and functions of docu-fictional narration in literature and media and works to define the contours of the term.
