summaryThis talk probes how narrators configure puzzling experiences into logics, how a desire to understand specific experiences is often cut off by a desire for culturally coherent explanation. Alternatively, once a narrative is underway, narrating itself can lead to a phenomenological ‘clearing’ (Heidegger 1947) to experience revelations and realizations about life experiences. Across corpora of narratives that I have collected, one intriguing feature seems particularly potent in this respect - the granularity of event descriptions. I hope to draw us into an interesting exchange along these lines.
