    Keywords: Culture -- Social aspects ; Culture ; Narration ; Culture-Research ; Culture-Study and teaching ; Culture ; Social aspects ; Culture ; Narration ; Electronic books ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Culture studies try to understand how people assume identities and perceive reality. In this light narration is a fundamental cultural technique. What is considered ""fictitious"" or ""real"" no longer separates narratives from an ""outside"" they refer to, but rather represents different narratives. The book's unique interdisciplinary approach shows how the implications of this fundamental insight go far beyond the sphere of literature and carry weight for both scholarly and scientific disciplines
