With Storytelling and the Sciences of Head, David Herman proposes a cross-fertilization between your study of narrative and research on intelligent behavior. The booklet all together centers around two questions: Just how do people seem sensible of reports, and how do people use reports to seem sensible of the world? Evaluating narratives from different times and across multiple press and genres, Herman shows how practices of narrative research can help form means of formulating and dealing with questions about intelligent activity, and vice versa. Using case studies that range from Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to sequences from The Amazing Hulk comics to narratives told in everyday discussion, Herman considers storytelling both as a goal for interpretation so that as a resource to make sense of experience itself. In doing this, he places ideas from narrative scholarship or grant into dialogue with such fields as psycholinguistics, beliefs of mind, and cognitive, communal, and ecological mindset. After exploring ways that interpreters of reports can use textual cues to make narrative worlds, or storyworlds, Herman investigates how this process of narrative worldmaking in turn supports efforts to understand - and build relationships - the conduct of folks, among other areas of lived experience.
