How Narrative Shapes Culture and Society: A Socio-Narratology of Power and Influence - Hardcover
Description
by James E. Siburt (Author)
This book analyzes how everyday storytelling operates as a subtle yet powerful mode of influence, shaping identity, belief systems, and leadership across diverse cultural contexts.
Bridging literary theory, cultural studies, and leadership practice, it offers an interdisciplinary examination of myths, fairy tales, parables, and trickster narratives to uncover the mechanisms through which stories embed and transmit power. With critical insight into the ideological and affective force of narrative, James E. Siburt reveals how even the most ordinary stories sustain social norms, seed collective values, and mirror the deep structures of human desire and meaning-making.
