Narrative theory is about looking at worlds, from their construction and governance to the real people living within them. This perspective is useful for understanding the complexities of not only literature, but the mechanisms of medicine, law, management, and economics. In the process, questions arise around established paradigms鈥攖he answers have the potential to bring about concrete disciplinary, practical, and policy-oriented outcomes.
