After-Postmodern Narratives 2

In 1966 Robert Scholes and Robert Kellogg published the book “The Nature of Narrative”. It was something that emerged in the zeitgeist of the sixties, in postmodern times, when new perspectives appeared together with ideas of “deconstruction” of any concept, mainly the old ones. The last two decades of the 20^th century saw a victory of the pragmatism and objectivity over creation and subjectivity. As history has a kind of intertwined ways, the narrative studies continued. In the 21^st century started a transition to a new period: a shift to after-postmodern times. The narrative became something visible to different fields of study and practice. So, this is the time of Narrative.

After-Postmodern Narratives

In Postmodern Period, in the second half of the 20^th Century, some scholars started to think and write about “narrative”. At that days, each field of study was constrained to stay inside it’s own limits, although some interdisciplinary movements begun. Narrative was object of interest of some people. But in After-Postmodern current time, “narrative” became a kind of “interdisciplinary tool”, helping to understand different sides of human being.
