ABSTRACT
In the study of social narratives, the concept of narration is important for two reasons. First, it encapsulates the dynamic nature of narrative, pointing at the process by which narratives are conveyed (Herman 2009). Second, it invokes the agents who are inherent in the communicative acts of producing, consuming, and reproducing narratives. In this sense it puts the spotlight on the narrator role of specific agents and actors, such as political leaders and organizations, which is important to the understanding of the processes that ultimately forge communities (Carr 1986).
