MASTER NARRATIVES
"I propose that indigenous life stage concepts are best understood as master narratives, from which individuals draw materials for building their personal identity narrative." (p. 307)
"Life stage concepts tell people what they should be doing, and when, as they progress through life." (p. 308)
"One of the key features of master narratives is that they are compulsory." (p. 308)
"within any culture there may be individuals who fail to find the master narrative satisfying as a basis for their personal identity, and who consequently seek alternative or counternarratives," (p, 309)- What does he mean by a "counternarrative"?
- What are some examples of counternarratives?
- If your life fits a counternarrative, not the master narrative, is there any downside?
- Can the master narrative change?
- What's an example of change?
