Relevance and Narrative Research closes this gap by initiating a discussion which turns the vaguely defined evaluative tool \"relevance\" into an object of study. The contributors to this volume do so by firmly situating questions of relevance in the context of narrative theory. Briefly put, they ask either \"What can 'relevance' do for narrative research?\" or \"What can narrative research do for better understanding 'relevance?'\" or both. The basic assumption is that relevance is a relational term. Further assuming that most (if not all) relations which human beings encounter within their cultures are narratively constructed, the contributors to this volume suggest that reflections on narrative and narrative research are fundamental to any endeavor to conceptualize notions of \"relevance.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatei Chihaia is professor of French and Spanish literature at the University of Wuppertal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKatharina Rennhak is professor of English literature at the University of Wuppertal.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48643833692409,"sku":"9781498586825","price":194.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/THCpEVPMEH9781498586825.webp?v=1783405046","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/relevance-and-narrative-research-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
