Abstract

This article suggests that narrative meaning structures have different modes of ex-istence: the "told", the "inner" and the "lived" modes. Their definitions and mutual relationships are presented in the form of a schematic model. The inner narrative represents the experiental mode of narrative form. It is an individual's interpreta-tion of his/her life, in which the past events, present situation and future projects are understood using cultural narrative models as resources. It is (partly) made external by told narratives, and validated/revised in that process. The lived narra-tive, again, refers to the real-life drama, which is shaped in the interplay between situational constraints and the inner narrative that guides one's actions in chang-ing life situations. The article reviews narrative research focusing on the studies and discussions related to the relations between the different modes of narrativity. (Narrative Theory, Narrative Methodology, Inner Narrative, Lived Narrative) Recent decades have witnessed a rapid increase of interest in narrative in various branches of human science. This phenomenon has been called the "narrative boom", "narrative turn" or sometimes even "narrative explosion". The fascination with the concept of narrative seems to stem from its ability to bring together various disciplines, as well as to bridge the gap between science and art. Narrative research is like a huge buffet to which different disciplines bring their own methods and views for others to share. Ideas, concepts and methods are mutually borrowed and a happy family atmosphere is created. Sometimes, however, this abundance may be difficult to digest, and some of the family members may feel they do not know each other after all.
