Proposition 027 – Narrative and transmissibility

A narrative makes a system of ideas transmissible and capable of legitimation and makes its support base recognisable.

• Explanation. A narrative expresses a system of ideas in a coherent form that can be transmitted. It also provides a justification of the conceptions, norms and values, goals, ideals and institutions contained within it. By endors­ing, using or repeating the narrative, an individual or social circle may also become recognisable as belonging to the support base of the relevant system of ideas.
