From pain to beauty. Narratives of transition

Abstract

The narrative dimension has always played a central role
in existence. Telling is primarily telling to give organization to the inner world and to give meaning to events. Some experiential areas have only recently taken on a narrative form, in particular that relating to the medical dimension. Narrating the pain and suffering has value of value crossing and the ability to represent to themselves the condition of fragility can be learned from young, advantageous to help the new contemporary fragility to find generative expressive channels of sharing.
