This study seeks to examine the relationship between education and narrative, with the aim of assessing its significance within educational practices and contexts. The analysis is approached from three perspectives: philosophical, psychological, and pedagogical. The philosophical perspective, drawing on the work of Hans Blumenberg, Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, and Paul Ricoeur, provides a comprehensive overview of storytelling, tracing a trajectory from the role of myth, to a reflection on the craft of the narrator and writer, and ultimately to the concept of narrative identity. The psychological perspective, informed by the studies of Jerome Bruner, explores the function of narrative in human thought and in the construction of meaning, emphasising the capacity of narrative discourse to mediate between cultural models and individual experience. Finally, the pedagogical perspective investigates in greater depth the interplay between education and narration, with the aim of elucidating the potential of a narrative approach both in the professional development of educators and in educational practice. This discussion also includes an overview of research projects and practical initiatives conducted over the past fifteen years, which demonstrate the tangible applicability of narrative methods within educational and training contexts.
Il presente lavoro si propone di approfondire il legame che unisce educazione e narrazione, con l’obiettivo di esplorarne il valore all’interno delle pratiche e dei contesti educativi. L’analisi si sviluppa attraverso tre prospettive: filosofica, psicologica e pedagogica. La prospettiva filosofica, che si avvale dei contributi di Hans Blumenberg, Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes e Paul Ricoeur, offre una panoramica ampia sulla narrazione, delineando un percorso che dal ruolo del mito, conduce a una riflessione sul mestiere del narratore e dello scrittore, fino ad affrontare il tema dell’identità narrativa. La prospettiva psicologica, fondata sugli studi di Jerome Bruner, indaga la funzione della narrazione nel pensiero umano e nei processi di costruzione di significato, mettendo in evidenza la capacità del discorso narrativo di mediare tra modelli culturali ed esperienza individuale. Infine, la prospettiva pedagogica esamina in modo più dettagliato il rapporto che intercorre tra educazione e narrazione, con l’intento di comprendere le potenzialità dell’approccio narrativo sia nella formazione dell’educatore, sia nella pratica educativa. Nell’ambito di tale trattazione, uno spazio è dedicato anche a esperienze e progetti di ricerca realizzati negli ultimi quindici anni, che documentano la concreta applicabilità della narrazione ai contesti educativi e formativi.

Abstract
This study seeks to examine the relationship between education and narrative, with the aim of assessing its significance within educational practices and contexts. The analysis is approached from three perspectives: philosophical, psychological, and pedagogical. The philosophical perspective, drawing on the work of Hans Blumenberg, Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, and Paul Ricoeur, provides a comprehensive overview of storytelling, tracing a trajectory from the role of myth, to a reflection on the craft of the narrator and writer, and ultimately to the concept of narrative identity. The psychological perspective, informed by the studies of Jerome Bruner, explores the function of narrative in human thought and in the construction of meaning, emphasising the capacity of narrative discourse to mediate between cultural models and individual experience. Finally, the pedagogical perspective investigates in greater depth the interplay between education and narration, with the aim of elucidating the potential of a narrative approach both in the professional development of educators and in educational practice. This discussion also includes an overview of research projects and practical initiatives conducted over the past fifteen years, which demonstrate the tangible applicability of narrative methods within educational and training contexts.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
