Narrative Orientierung der Handlungswissenschaft Soziale Arbeit

Overview & Synopsis

Narratives and stories are an integral part of human culture. Based on the concept of homo narrans, Moritz Rosenberger first analyses the function and effect of narratives for modern subjects and societies. Building on this and drawing on the theoretical discourse of social work, he formulates the first axioms of narrative-oriented social work. Starting from an action research orientation and recognising the interdependence of theory and practice, the theoretical combination of relational and discursive constructivism as well as a hermeneutic claim to understanding is applied at various levels of practice.
