ABSTRACT
The task in this chapter is to try to identify the struggle between more general ideas of how society should be organised in the mundane development over time of fisheries in Norway and to investigate the freedom and the possibilities of alternative developments on the larger scale. This chapter discusses the difference between knowledge- and project narratives. It describes the task is to reason on some of the many narratives recently struggling for support, on the macro organization of modern societies, the narratives that can be grouped for example in three: on capitalism, socialism and communism. The chapter suggests that human engagement in projects, based on the representative language capacity and the ability to use and reason with concepts that represent things in the world, is equally ubiquitous, with that perennial interest in religious ideas suggesting that macro narratives of future (macro) communities was and is common.
