Cultures and societies are designed via narratives. Humans are narrating beings, who process events and givemeaning to their everyday lives by telling stories. Cultures and their agents do not only create oral, written, ana-logue and digital narrations, but also tell stories through pictures, actions, arts, rituals and customs. Narrativesand stories as well as meta-narratives, such as the narration of “the linear progress”, are general expressions ofcultural processes, as well as storage media for cultural processes and, more recently, subjects of cultural-analy-tic research.


The module Narrative Cultures provides the students with skills in understanding a wide diversity of mediatizedor materialized narratives in order to learn how to analyze narrative everyday cultures.
