Narrative Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the structure, function, and impact of narratives in various contexts. It explores how stories are constructed, shared, and interpreted across different mediums, including literature, film, and oral traditions. Researchers analyze elements such as plot, character, and setting to understand how narratives shape human experience and culture. This field also investigates the role of narratives in identity formation and social change. By studying personal and collective stories, scholars can uncover how narratives influence perceptions, beliefs, and behaviors. Key areas of interest include autobiography, folklore, and digital storytelling.
