hi everyone my name is Michelle and
today I will be talking about the
narrative paradigm as the topic for the
application presentation number two so
for the introduction I would like to
start and wave the narrative paradigm is
a concept and communication theory and
it was developed by Walter Fisher so
this concept comes from the oldest form
of communication and which is
storytelling Fisher said that all
meaningful communication is in the form
of a narrative human's past experience
effector communication needs and also
our behavior the narrative paradigm
makes the analysis of the nature of
human communication very helpful
narrative and verbal and nonverbal
representations that is systematically
structured to produce meaning the
experience and other aspects of the past
affective space of interaction the
concept maintains that communication
takes the form of a story between a
storyteller and listener the narrative
incorporates the things that the author
wants to talk to the reader and does not
fall into single category so the
narrative paradigm works two simple
principles they are coherence which is
any content while communicating is
effective only if it makes sense to
listener and coherence is the degree of
sense making of a narrative and the
second principle is fidelity it is
defined by the credibility or
reliability of the story which is
narrated it is greatly shaped on the
persuasion of listener whether the
person accepts it accepts it accept the
story or not a set of values is followed
for accepting the reliability of this
story so for example my example that I'm
going to use today is that I believe in
saints and angels existence
so I used to spend hours and hours
researching about this the possibility
of a God of saints angels and their
presence so whenever any abnormality
used to occur
I would recently cement with the
existence of these beings but my friends
in my circle the majority of them
rejected the idea or didn't listen to my
arguments at all so the few that were
interested believed in this and the
reason for the majority to discard the
argument is due to the vagueness and
mystery of the story that I was
narrating they didn't Willy there were
that there's a God or some angels and
saints and just were not part of the
same my same background and my same past
experiences and they didn't believe in
that so people accept narrations
following the principles of coherence
and fidelity does making most of my
friends reject this idea the few who
accepted inner narrative were influenced
by their past experiences and other
cultural backgrounds like I was saying
already so for a conclusion I would like
to say that the narrative paradigm is an
innovative concept which reveals the
nature of human communication while
considering communication as a form of
an array of events the people judge its
credibility by understanding the
reliability of the narrative the studies
can be further developed in
understanding the human communication
mechanism and can be applied to various
fields
so a two-act to this conclusion there
are some critics that also make part of
this concept so the narrative paradigm
is a broad concept in human
communication it is almost impossible to
conduct a study so to contradict this
concept many philosophers believe that
communication is not always a narrative
so for instance a fantasy story cannot
be a narrative as it is out of one's
imagination and it will alter the form
from the principles to the narration
such as destructor of reliability and
that would be it thank you so much for
watching and see you next class
